Down to the wire
The same sex marriage bill in New York is going down to the wire. You know, I want to see New York pass this one. And I also want to see the Catholic church shut the hell up about it.
Look, if they're consenting adults, there shouldn't be any law restricting them from being married. But that's obviously far too sensible an idea.
New York's Archbishop, Timothy Dolan, reiterated his and the Catholic Church's opposition to gay marriage on Sunday, vowing to oppose "any radical bill to redefine the very essence of marriage."Yes, traditional values... like those values 125 years ago, which pretty much said that interracial marriages were 'wrong', and in many states were illegal (in some states, interracial marriages were illegal until 1967, when SCOTUS reached its' decision in Loving v. Virginia).
"One has to wonder why the proponents of this radical redefinition, who claim overwhelming popular support, would not consider" a referendum "on such a drastic departure from traditional values?" he wrote on his blog.
