NY Post: No To Same-Sex Marriage

From an editorial published by the New York Post today. Gov. Cuomo yesterday ratcheted up the pressure in favor of same-sex marriage in New York, sending his own bill to the Legislature while arm-twisting lawmakers on its behalf. That’s a pity.

PhoboQuotable – Timothy Dolan

“Last time I consulted an atlas, it is clear we are living in New York, in the United States of America – not in China or North Korea. In those countries, government presumes daily to “redefine” rights, relationships, values, and natural law. There, communiqués from the government can dictate the size of families, who lives and who dies, and what …

Tony Perkins On New York Marriage

“New York’s legislative session isn’t the only thing that ends next Monday–so could the state’s definition of marriage.

NEW YORK: Anti-Gay Ultra-Orthodox Rabbis Rally Against Civil Rights

The SPLC-certified hate group MassResistance reports that the Ultra-Orthodox Torah Jews for Decency today lobbied New York state senators to oppose marriage equality. I believe this is the same group that stood uncomfortably on Sen. Ruben Diaz’ hate stage while speakers condemned anybody who didn’t accept Jeebus as their personal savior.

The red-caped loons of the anti-gay Catholic Society for Defense of Tradition are claiming that a “pro-homosexual advocate” tore up their banner at a street protest in Fairport, New York this weekend. The video of the “attack” looks very, very staged to me. (I’ll be calling Fairport police today and see if any report was actually filed.) It’s also interesting …
