....you can look at Canada and see their society has not experienced thermal meltdown!

Really? The north is melting at a greater rate than ever. Pretty soon the permafrost will be boggy soil. Coincidence? I think not.

Looks close to passage in New York, but may still be one vote short in the traditionally more conservative State Senate:

Noticed today that Argentina has had its first gay divorce. Couple of ladies who got married... this April!

Canada has had full marriage rights for a few years! Complete with immigration and everything. If I, as a US citizen, want to apply for Canadian citizenship, my partner and I are treated like a couple just like any other couple. Only one of us needs to qualify to get the other citizenship. Also, if I marry a Canadian, it's treated as any other marriage and I can immigrate. Canada rocks! And for all of those who are worried about all the nonsense the right spouts out, you can look at Canada and see their society has not experienced thermal meltdown! Hockey watching, beer guzzling canucks live happily beside butch, hockey hair having lesbians. It's a thing of beauty.

Except for that hair, of course!

“It’s time America realized that there is no gay exemption in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence.”

Barry Goldwater, Hey, good enough for Barry, good enough for me.

Besides, I think my gay buddies should have to suffer along with the rest of us, you married guys know what I mean.

good quote from hizzoner mayor bloomberg here:

Mr. Bloomberg, addressing concerns of religious leaders, said: “I happen to think very strongly that this is not a religious thing. Religious organizations should have every right to decide who they want to marry, whether they want to permit alcohol. Religions do a lot of different things. This is the government, and the government should be separate from religion.”

That George Reekers guy sounds like one despicable human being.

Now for a positive note on the gay rights front:
