Good for them.
I was watching The Daily Show this morning and Jon was making fun of the fact that the state senate was tied 31-31 on the SSM bill,but they roundly voted to make sweet corn the state veggie!

This is wonderful news although I don't understand why people need they're actions sanctioned by the government in order to be happy.

Gays, lesbians, the downtrodden, minorities you already have all the rights you will ever need you simply must exercise them as the old saying goes "you don't use it, you lose it".

Special laws enacted under the guise of creating "equality" only serve to divide.

What a crock of shit. The fact is that marriage gives benefits in the field of tax, employment rights, healthcare, as well as legal benefits. How can you say we have all the right we need, when straight people are given extra rights? If people don't need the right to marry then go ahead and put your support behind the abolition of marriage for straight people.

This isn't some 'special law', it's simply extending the exact same rights to everyone.

awesome point Anna <3

I was at Stonewall a few hours ago, filming the event happening from inside the bar. It was really amazing, the energy was out of control! After a long 24 hours of Trans Day of Action, the Drag March then Stonewall, I've got so much good footage of sex-positive NYC.

Check out the video on youtube if you're interested, it was a fun crowd, met a cute guy who works for Reuters, not sure how much of Pride I'm going to check out this weekend, I'm a little queer-ed out at the moment.
