Im so proud to be a New Yorker right now!!!! NYS senate just passed the Gay Marriage law!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ Love is LOVE!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ If you have something against gays, you are missing out on some of the best people on earth. Support them having love, too!
Edit: ok now waiting on the Bill, who knew there was so much to this?? LOL wtf
"Marriage is a civil issue, not a religious issue. The state sets the requiremen_ts for marriage, not religion. Those who wish to add a religious ceremony are free to do so. Religious entities have always had the right to refuse or accept to marry those they have religious grounds against marrying, however, ALL Americans are entitled to all protection_s and benefits provided by and of the state."

I'm very happy about this :D Pride this weekend will be EPIC! This was a decision that will no doubt get the ball going in other states, history in the making. About freakin time.
Congrats, New York! :D

For sure.
Most importantly, I'm glad the gov't realises that church and state are separate entities and should not affect each other.

Church and state def affects one another...I'm actually against it and I can't believe ny passed the bill..but of course, I'm not surprised.

I'm absolutely fine with this.
If a man loves another man and woman loves another woman and they want to tie the knot to make it official, Let them!

Great news. Hopefully it'll follow across the country over the next decade.
But it's pretty ignorant of some of you to claim religion has no affiliation to marriage...when in reality, marriage is almost entirely religious/cultural.
