Forums - General Discussion - NY State Assembly passes gay marriage!

Unfortunately, you have to wait until it is recognized at the Federal level.  DOMA, the 'Discrimination Of Marriage Act' currently has been declared unconstitutional, but it is still tied up in courts.

It is harmful cause many bi-national couples get separated.  And my one of my friends had to move to Australia because he couldn't bring his husband here. (His husband is really cool by the way.)

The tragedy is when they send one half of the couple back to a place that is super hostel towards gay people.  It can get really bad, they get put in jail and worse for some.

Here is some info about it:

Anyway, Yea for New York, and near the anniversary when Inter Racial Marriage Bans (which, FYI, is banned in the Bible) got thrown out 43 years ago (Loving v. Virginia).

Now when the New York Senate passes it then all the good people of New York can celebrate!  (and poor California, is going to get a big dose of shame again.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

This is great, I always found it weird to live in such a diverse city like New York that didn't allow Gay Marriage. Especially since the East Village and Soho are here.

Question: If I were to marry a male Newyorker, could I get a green card, or do I have to wait 'till same sex marriage is recognized on a federal level?

I'm interested in this too, New Yorkers are very hot!



 

We've gone down this path many times before but our Senate will reject it like always...One of the times it will go through but until it happens I'm very doubtful.



Former something....

Why thank you!

OT: This is the fourth time its passed the assembly. There are currently 31 Senators (29 Democrats and 2 Republicans) who support the bill and 32 are needed to pass it. I think there are 3 who are still undecided.  For it to come to a vote the Senate majority leader, who is a republican, is reluctant to bring it to a vote. I've been keeping up with this the last few weeks. Really is a shame its taking so long, it is a civil rights issue.


It'll happen for our state one of these days when they get tired of the issue coming up each year, I hope it's this year like I've done the past four but with our senate who knows...

On another note  I'm unable to see your Trunks avvy without having boobs now from the way his pacs are drawn and the black undershirt looks like a tangtop...

It was legal in the Netherlands, and possibly in another country too.

wtf is that shit, its pretty scarry and discusting. have you actually seen someone like that in reality and how did it feel like seeing that and did they talk to you and how it felt? same questions to sapphi cause i would like to know i have never met someone who looks remotly close to that

also sapphi i have read that vlad the impaler is glorified at romania can you confirm or deny>

First of all, gypsies don't look like that. They have darker skin. They look quite similar to Indians (which shouldn't be surprising, as they're originally from that region).

 

Yes, Vlad the Impaler is glorified over here as a national hero (even though by today's standards he'd be considered a tirant psychopath). Generally, Medieval kings are glorified over here (lots of them were made saints, including one who was a serial adulterer and had 20+ bastard children).
