ALBANY — Lawmakers voted late Friday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples can wed, and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born.

The same-sex marriage bill was approved on a 33 to 29 vote, as four Republican state senators joined 29 Democrats in voting for the bill. The Senate galleries were so packed with supporters and opponents that the fire marshals closed them off. And along the Great Western Staircase, outside the Senate chamber, about 100 demonstrators chanted and waved placards throughout the night — separated by a generation, a phalanx of state troopers and 10 feet of red marble.

“Support traditional marriage,â€

We had better put a halt to this at the federal level or we will all become taxed to death slaves supporting anarchy. Obviously the plan of Obama is to bleed us dry and bring on total chaos.

Just like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

They say its a victory if they want but its just another thing that has been pushed down on us.Its wrog anyway you look at it,but what kills me on the whole issue is how gays and lesbians can lobby and get their thind passed and we have a hard time getting rid of illegals that break federal and state laws.
