It ain't just an island in Thailand

"Ahh! This is all the gays fault!"

The New York State Senate might be voting soon on Governor Cuomo's 'Let's join the 21st century and let gay people get married too' bill. The measure has already passed in the Assembly and is just waiting for the Republican-controlled Senate to decide whether or not to vote on it. Proponents say that passing the bill would strike a blow for civil rights not just in New York, but across the country. Also, that it would bring the law in line with the majority of Americans who believe same-sex couples are entitled to equal treatment under the law. Opponents say: God no like gay. Make God angry. God punish. So obviously both sides totally have a point.

'...fuck it.'

Sen. Roy McDonald (R)

Despite the bill's fate being largely in the hands of Republicans, there's a chance that this might actually (knock on wood) happen this time. In fact, check out what Republican State Senator Roy McDonald had to say to reporters about his support of the same sex marriage measure:

"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it. I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing."

Kick ass. I wish more Republicans were like this guy.


Any-who, two lovely friends of mine are getting married in New York later this summer, bill or no bill, and it would be pretty rad if they could say that they're married instead of 'civil-unioned, which is similar to-but not quite-married.' Fingers crossed.

What? Phuket. It's a real place.
