It's time to set up refugee camps in Pennsylvania for opposite-sex (i.e., real) married couples.
From the JYT:
The demons of faggotry must have worked overtime in Albany to get Grisanti and the other three RINO's to cave in. Also, since when are special privileges "the same rights that I have with my wife"?
I share the Romanist fish heads' sentiment. Now if only they followed God's morality on raping altar boys.
That man is quite right, despite having a weird El-Salivadorian name that I can't even type. God settled the definition of marriage a long time ago. One day, Our Lord Jesus Christ and His favorite party will restore that definition: the union of a man and one or more wives (2 Samuel 12:7-8), concubines (2 Samuel 5:13), POW sex slaves (Numbers 31:18), purchased sex slaves (Exodus 21:7-11), and rape victims (Deut. 22:28-29), all of whom have to submit to him as though he were God (Eph. 5:22), and with no remarriage after divorce between believers (Luke 16:18). Can I get an amen?

New York Allows Same-Sex Marriage, Becoming Largest State to Pass Law
ALBANY — Lawmakers voted late Friday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born.
The marriage bill, whose fate was uncertain until moments before the vote, was approved 33 to 29 in a packed but hushed Senate chamber. Four members of the Republican majority joined all but one Democrat in the Senate in supporting the measure after an intense and emotional campaign aimed at the handful of lawmakers wrestling with a decision that divided their friends, their constituents and sometimes their own homes.
With his position still undeclared, Senator Mark J. Grisanti, a Republican from Buffalo who had sought office promising to oppose same-sex marriage, told his colleagues he had agonized for months before concluding he had been wrong.
“I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.”

In a joint statement, New York’s Catholic bishops assailed the vote.
“The passage by the Legislature of a bill to alter radically and forever humanity’s historic understanding of marriage leaves us deeply disappointed and troubled,” the bishops said.

Just one lawmaker rose to speak against the bill: Rubén Díaz Sr. of the Bronx, the only Democratic senator to cast a no vote. Mr. Díaz, saying he was offended by the two-minute restrictions set on speeches, repeatedly interrupted the presiding officer who tried to limit the senator’s remarks, shouting, “You don’t want to hear me.”
“God, not Albany, has settled the definition of marriage, a long time ago,” Mr. Díaz said.
