Totally agree. There was nothing in KG even remotely related to "relationships" except Curious George and the man with the yellow hat. Thankfully people are hysterical about the economy which allowed the hysteria towards gay marriage die down enough for a bill to pass.

Everyone has the right to be miserable!
My point is science cannot be used to justify homosexuality because it's not proven. The OP says homosexuality is a gene and pedopihilia is a behavior yet there's no proof for either.


And no, there is not marriage equality.

Why about the first cousins who want to marry? What about the siblings who want to marry? What about the polygamists? Sorry, but 1 man 1 woman was a clear cut, clean definition of an institution designed to promote procreation and family. Gay marriage passing now muddies the waters up and increases the unfairness to other groups - yet where's the outrage?

But, Christian Biblical Law's ban on polygamy is permitted to be NYS law?

Jus because a law coincides with one religion's rule rule does not mean that particular religion is favored over others

Let me guess, this is another example of Jews being persecuted?

For many it is absolutely NOT 'insignificant and unimportant'.

No, it is not another example of Jews being persecuted, but it is violation of the separation of church and state.

You're right, how dare the US government side with the Christians in wanting to treat women with respect and dignity

Both straights and gays are in committed relationships, both straights and gays have had many partners in a short period of time. Being in a committed relationship, and going on sex crazed binges is not something exclusive with one side or the other.

As far as the parade, who cares, I see you have a mistaken Carl Paladino thought about what actually goes on there, hint its not just a bunch of bare asses and leather chaps. And no I don't go around yelling I'm heterosexual, but most gays do not either. On top of that I have never been told I am worthless, harassed, beaten, I'm going to burn in hell, been denied rights, etc simply because I'm heterosexual.
I agree with you 100%! As for Gpsma, he might be telling the truth-I say this only because I've known a lot of straight men who are 'pigs'. This has nothing to do with sexual orientation though. Gpsma is filled with so much intolerance, hatred and negativity - it boggles the mind.

Anyway - I say Bravo to Governor Cuomo and NYS for finally legalizing Gay Marriage in NYS. I hope I get invited to some Gay weddings now!
