Not surprised, but still a bummer...

Word has come out that the California Supreme Court upheld the enforced discrimination of Proposition 8.  I'm not surprised, but it's still a bummer.  Here in NY, Gov. Paterson has introduced legislation to allow same sex marriage.  (NY recognized same sex marriage performed in other states, but it still doesn't grant couples the right to marry here.)  The State Assembly has passed it, but it's still being held up in the Senate.

One vocal opponent in NY Sen. Ruben Diaz.  Diaz is a bigot from The Bronx.  He has called on Latino clergy to unite in opposition.  I generally don't try to be so crass, but Diaz just needs to put a tailpipe into his mouth and breathe deeply.

No, I don't really feel that way, but this legislation - legislation of fairness, equality and what is RIGHT - is so long overdue.  A recent poll by the NY Daily News showed New Yorkers supporting same sex marriage by a 70-30 margin.  How refreshing to be in the majority on this.  How irritating that it still hasn't passed.
