The only way we’re going to see actual same-sex marriages in NYS is to oust the GOP from the State Senate. Republicans have controlled that institution for decades now. And quite frankly, they’re obstructionists. Every time Democrats in the lower house try to reform the family or penal code, the Senate Republicans filibuster it.

This is why New York lags behind practically every other northeastern state (except Pennsylvania) when it comes to gay rights. Everything has to be done at the local level or through executive orders because the legislature refuses to act.

Yay NY! Very soon we’ll be able to marry there as well. Oh how I’d love to get married at the statue of liberty or Niagra Falls. Please keep pushing legislature.

So effectively, same-sex marriage is legal in NY. You just have to get married in CA, MA, or Canada.

Does this mean we’re going to see a flood of NYers descend on MA clerk offices, esp since they repealed the law that imposed a block on non-residents? That would be sweet!

The faith-based lawyers involved with anti-gay cases must evetually realize that they are ; in fact ; opposing constitutional gurantees of freedom and equality. Law books belong in courtrooms. Bibles belong in churches. The Bible is not a book of law by any means , outside the lives of believers.

Congrats to my birth state.

Let’s hope my home state, California, gets it right in November
