It’s too bad that in a state like New York gay marriage was shoot down. In all the states in this once great country that claims equal rights for all gay people in New York State tock a giant step backwards. In the year 2009 not to give a group of people equal right is very sad and also un-American. Everyone in the state of New York knows that gay rights are nothing more than a political football to get more power in Albany. It’s so sad that people that we put in power to lead act like little children, and listen to the church. Once again you have to ask what happened to separation of state and church. It’s also very sad that the Republican Party still follows Bush’s policies, but also his hatred to gay people in this country.
I have been following gay marriage on the Federal level for years now and it always turns out that it’s the Republican Party that preaches hate toward a group of people because they have nothing to offer so they get the right wing up in arms with nothing more than lies and misleading statements. It’s very sad that the Republican Party and leaders like John McCain can preach hate, and denies civil rights to tax payers. It’s also sad that leaders like Peter Kind and State Senator Owen H. Johnson follow the Christian ring wing. Senator H. Owner and Peter King should know how many gay people are in his district but so many leaders or so called leaders just follow like sheep the Bush polices of hate and lies.
Because of the leadership of the Republican party I have told my husband that our two year plan is for me to move up to Canada full time. As an adult I see what’s going on with my civil rights and that is to marry who I want without the church standing in my way, it’s a sham that the leadership of this once great country and state that preach equal rights has forgotten separation of state and church.
