NY legalizes gay marriage

[MustangGal]

I was at a Human Resources conference last year, and in the class about domestic partners and rights it was brought to our attention that 20 states allow you to marry your first cousin (mine being one of them), yet only a handful will let you marry your same sex partner. That just strikes me as completely wrong!

Go NY! Let's hope more follow.

... I'm beginning to question this whole "morality" factor...
Anyway,
Law goes into effect July 25th!

Go NY! Very happy for them.

Sad that Australia, a country where there is a huge population of homosexuals haven't legalized gay marriage. Shame on us seriously.

I'm excited people can have civil unions now However, the only thing that very slightly bothers me is that everyone keeps referring to it as gay marriage when marriage is still defined by most religions as between a man and woman. If the religions were to change it then I'd be cool with referring to it that way but as of right now it's more of a rights issue than a religious one and I believe we all have the right to be with the one we love in union I'll be interested to see if more religions end up changing how they think about it...Way to go New York!
