As the state of New York slouches toward bankruptcy, it's industry sapped by silly and oppressive taxes, fees and regulation, its youth leeching out to Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Florida, jobs vanishing daily, I watched in horror this week as the New York State Senate took time instead of addressing any of these issues to explicitly DENY basic human rights to New Yorkers by voting down a law to extend the right to marry to all New Yorkers.
I, needless to say, am absolutely disgusted by this act. My disgust is only strengthened by the absolute cowardice of those who voted against marriage equality. Of the 38 cowards who voted against marriage equality, only one had the testicular fortitude and intellectual honesty to speak on the floor of the Senate to justify his vote.
My personal coward is Dale Volker. I have e-mailed, and called Dale to try to get an explanation out of him. I even sent him a message on facebook. No response. Nothing. Not a peep.
I'm including a photo of this hateful coward so that if you happen to see him, you can give him a piece of your mind, and maybe somehow try to get some sort of an incoherent jumbled explanation out of his addled brain as to why he thinks discrimination is ok.
(Tip of the hat to Buffalo Pundit from whom I borrowed the photo)

I've been completely disgusted since I heard the decision. Honestly WHY are we debating this AT ALL! There are REAL issues in the world to worry about rather than whether or not you think its wrong. And while I'm normally very open to all opinions and say to each their own, I really have no tolerance for anyone who could oppose equal rights for gays. It infuriates me. Get with the century!
