Gay marriage dealt setback in 2 states

It's amazing to me that politicians and others do not see the absurdity of their continued fight against gay marriage

The two recent state decisions are just another case in point.

I ask Gov. George Pataki or anyone else to answer the question posed below: From a human standpoint, and a moral standpoint. What is the difference?

"It's a sad day for New York families," said plaintiff Kathy Burke of Schenectady, who is raising an 11-year-old son with her partner, Tonja Alvis. "My family deserves the same protections as my next door neighbors."

In a country where 50% of marriages end in divorce, no one prohibits men and women from marrying and divorce for the good of families.

I hope to someday be able to say what Plaintiff Regina Cicchetti said she was "devastated" by the ruling. But the Port Jervis resident said she and her partner of 36 years, Susan Zimmer, would fight on, probably by lobbying the Legislature for a change in the law.

How many who are against the marriage of gay couples can say they have been together 36 years!!!!
