ALL NEW YORK GAYS SLAUGHTERED, HOORAY! The barely functional New York state senate somehow got its shit together just enough to produce an orderly vote on a piece of legislation today, and it was “the big one” to legalize gay marriage, and it lost by 10 million points, 38-24. Give that majority whip a bonus! Sorry gay people. [NYT]

Why does the NYT article have a picture of two men kissing?
it lost, 38-24.
wait, what?
[re=470290]Chickensmack[/re]: sometimes these things sound better in my head. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
What’s double-awesome is that only one of the 38 senators who voted against the legislation bothered to say anything about it.
Everywhere is
Freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
and they’re all going back to their tents with the elves to make the best of things.
Is teh ghey sek still legal in Noo Yawk?
Seriously, perhaps all the gheys in NYC could go on strike – it’ll shut that city down…
Chocolate kitties! Nomnomnom… THE NY SENATE DID WHAT? Useless fuckers.
“Not only the evangelicals, not only the Jews, not only the Muslims, not only the Catholics, but also the people oppose it,” he said.
3rd grade set theory FAIL.
I hope Tiger Woods is enjoying himself.
This vote came just in time to save countless American marriages, starting with Tiger Woods’.
On the plus side, gays no longer have to pay NY state taxes. Right?
Ughhhh. mad mad mad.
The world is such a dark, ugly place lately. I’m moving to a shack in the woods today and I think I’ll start typing my manifesto and just go completely insane.
But seriously Wonkette – I’m moving to a house on Moran Road today. Can I claim official Wonkette Northwest Bureau Headquarters?
Congratulations, New York, on being less civil-rightsy than Iowa.
This current NY Senate is so dysfunctional that it’s a miracle they were even able to bring something to a vote. I guess their shared hatred of gays is the only thing they can agree on.
Uganda be kidding me!
Yet ironically, millions of Noo Yawkahs continue to get boned in the a** by these leeches in Albany.
Gays have dodged a bullet. Again. What happens when your married? Well, one of you inevitably wants Indian while the other wants Thai. And I am NOT talking about food.
Bigotry for the WIN!
This is good news for Rupert Everette.
[re=470321]RoscoePColtraine[/re]:
Yeah. The Gays should be legally allowed to suffer with the rest of us Marrieds.
[re=470294]Jim Newell[/re]:
I am sure there is a universe where 38 is less than 24.
[re=470329]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Likely so in whichever universe considers Mathematics a liberal bias.
Could the fact that they were even debating gay marriage have been enough to throw Tiger’s marriage onto the rocks? Perhaps we do need to rethink this whole thing.
Thanks, New York, for making California look less wingnutty.
[re=470329]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Yes, the one in which a divorced twat, who probably enjoys pegging and unprotected sex with barely legal hookers, can stand up in the legislature and claim to be “protecting marriage” with a straight face.
And on the same day Elise Keaton came out of the closet. Does the New York Senate want to make the 80s white America’s mom cry?
WITH JUSTICE AND LIBERTY FOR ALL
When states fail this sort of thing, they should be forced to do a test vote on repealing the thirteenth amendment (otherwise known as TAKING BACK OUR CUNTRY)..just to see how the ground lays.
Wow, words really can’t describe how relieved I am that the guy who cut his live-in girlfriend’s face with a beer bottle took a stand for the sanctity of marriage by making sure other people can’t get married.
After all, if people who assault and disfigure ladies they’re shacking up with aren’t willing to stand up for sexual and societal morality, who will?
[re=470365]El Pinche[/re]: ..how the land lays, that is.
It is a Herculean feat of unconscious projection when the people with a 52% divorce rate can claim to be protecting marriage by banning others from it.
Sadly homophobia is bipartisan…remember this when you vote next year fellow NYers.
You know, I think I will start referring to my marriage as my un-gay marriage. It won’t be true, but it might make those unable to marry by reason of their gayness feel better.
[re=470372]El Pinche[/re]: ‘Lies’, actually. Intransitive verb.
Can’t hermaphrodites marry either sex? If so…
BUT MEREDITH BAXTER-BIRNEY IS A LESBIAN!!
Today, we’re all Chastity Bono.
What would Larry Craig do?
[re=470329]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Yes. It’s called “Florida”.
Every time you post this picture, I wonder if that’s two dudes or two lesbians.
[re=470401]assistant/atlas[/re]: Making it the perfect pic for this?
[re=470401]assistant/atlas[/re]: The little clay cats mean that they must be gay dudes. Lesbians have dogs.
[re=470319]Extemporanus[/re]: I just discovered that unfairly unmarry-able über-anchoress Rachel Maddow used that very phrase on her show last night, or something.
I hereby offer a heartfelt apology to Michael J. Fox’s mom for my unwittingly unoriginal Boner. May she find the Jo Polniaczek-Bonner of her dreams, live happily ever after, forever and ever, amen.
Anyone got a list of the yeas and nays? I want to know who I need to hate, and possibly vote against.
The 8 Dems who voted against it are NYC Christers who straight up hate the gays, plus an Upstate ‘tard who pretends there aren’t any gays in his district.
The Republicans were just being assholes, as per usual. They would have voted against kittens, rainbows or even syphilitic hookers to spite the Democratic majority.
Bidness as usual here in Albany.
The NYS Senate makes my English husband laugh at me and my silly country.
[re=470361]JMP[/re]: [re=470391]thefrontpage[/re]: So which one of her 3 husbands turned her ‘that way’, hmmm?
[re=470412]Extemporanus[/re]: You’re mixing up your 80s family sitcoms; Boner was from Growing Pains, the one with the bulimic pill-popper and crazy fundy creationist.
[re=470416]dr.giraud[/re]: Well, you could say that the Repubs did vote against rainbows here.
What of Justice Kaye and her black-robed posse? Can they save our fair state from Alabama-dom?
[re=470422]JMP[/re]: And Jo was from Family Ties, the lesbo dorm webcam porno.
I was just trying to be fair to family ties of all stripes and perversions.
[re=470408]Jewdishoowary Square[/re]: You have never been in a lesbian’s house. Gays corner the market on the yippie dogs, lesbos on the sheddy cats.
There you go, that’ll be quite enough of the ol’ man-on-man-ham-slam thank you very mucheroo.
[re=470509]Mr Blifil[/re]: and if they keep at it turn the water hose on ‘em!
[re=470493]Potater[/re]: According to the teevee show “Homos: 101″ on Animal Planet, if brushed regularly, sheddy lesbians can make excellent pets.
Yippie gays, however? Not so much.
[re=470329]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Sure, the one where “yes” votes are reported in hexadecimal.
Land of the Free? Home of the Brave?
We need to boycott Fire Island this summer. And petition to change the name of the state to New Yorkistan.
[re=470374]Holy Cow!![/re]: Well said, Holy.
But seriously Wonkette – I’m moving to a house on Moran Road today. Can I claim official Wonkette Northwest Bureau Headquarters? film izle
