ALBANY – The attempt to legalize same sex marriage in New York suffered a crushing defeat in the state Senate today as eight Democrats joined all 30 Republicans to reject the measure, 24-38.The defeat left prospects for the legalization of same sex marriage in New York dismal at best for the next 13 months since nervous lawmakers aren’t expected to take up the measure next year, when they must all face the voters.
The defeat stunned gay marriage supporters, who launched a loud demonstration outside the Senate chamber immediately after the vote, chanting, “equal rights now, equal rights now.’’​

The vote came after a highly emotional 2 1/2 hour debate and just hours after the measure was approved for the third time by the Democrat-controlled Assembly.

Another state gets it right.

And because it is an internal matter, and was voted on, I'm sure that everyone here whole heartedly supports this decision.

I am really surprised that New York rejected it

 

[Liberalman]

I guess Adam and Steve will just have to get married in Toronto maybe in a mormon church since they are warming to the idea on homosexuality

A lot of women live in Canada,but you still don't believe they are ready for leadership.
So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

For every step forward that humanity takes, there are times like this that we take two steps back.8O

[Liberalman]

One day people will be able to marry their dogs and cats and the big question is if it is a step forward or a step back

38 Politicians decide what the voting population wants? I guess they'll find out one way or the other when it's time to vote.;-)

Comparing humans to animals has no logical bearing to this conversation at all.

Most animal rights activists are for abortions which means fluffy has more rights than baby jane so this has a lot of bearing to this conversation

 

[lone wolf]

Most diapers land butter side down so your argument is full of crap
