I didn't see this on my flist, but someone referred obliquely to it on FB, stating they did not heart NY. NY was not a rainbow state. So I decided to look it up.

The Conservative Stance, which still makes absolutely no logical sense to me: http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2009/12/02/new-york-state-senate-rejects-gay-marriage-focus-turns-to-nj/

Course the explanation may be rather simple - such as sometimes a table is just a table and a homophobe is just well a homophobe.

The NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/03/nyregion/03marriage.html

I can't say I'm surprised, after all this is the same Senate that could not agree on anything for six months, and one of the Senators slashed his girlfriend's face open with a knife. Plus NY is fairly conservative on certain issues.

But it does annoy me that people still think with hate in their gut, and use their religious beliefs and God to bolster it. Gives religion and God a bad name, has zip to do with either - and everything to do with one four letter word we all know all too well - FEAR.
