Gay Marriage Loses in NY
Dear New York:
As a straight man, you’d figure that I don’t have a dog in the marriage equality fight. And you’d be right, sort of.
But I’m the kind of person who backs up his friends, and a lot of those people happen to be gay. So on their behalf, I extend to you a hale and hearty “go fuck yourselves”. I’d like to extend an extra-super-duper fuck you to the state Democratic Party.
The Senate shot down the bill after two and a half hours of debate this afternoon, during which no Republicans spoke. New York’s other legislative body, the state assembly, had approved the bill in May by a vote of 89 to 52.
Gov. David Paterson (D) supported the measure. He called a special session in November for the Senate to consider the bill and vote on budget measures to reconcile a $3.2 billion deficit.
Democrats have a one-seat majority in the Senate. No Republicans voted for it, and several Dems voted against.
You guys and gals are fucking morons. I wish you nothing but the worst, you slackjawed, backwards, yokels.
Eat shit!
