Gay Marriage Approved by New York Senate

[Drolefille]

Want the Catholic Church to stop begging for the right to not adopt to gay couples and then screeching discrimination when they're being paid state money. They can't refuse to adopt to non-Catholics, why should they be allowed to discriminate on state time.

Even for people who follow or practice a faith that are an opposite sex couple can't get married just for being baptized or members.

Maybe California will get it right this time and not let outside money from the Land of Zion influence the state vote.

All I'm going to say is the Catholic Church needs to handle their issues about moving priests who have abused people to new areas before they start dealing with marriage or adoption, or they will be bankrupt from the lawsuits it won't matter what they think or feel about marriage or adoption.

I do know that in many places Mormons have to have a wedding by a judge or at a court house because their temple weddings (sealings for all eternity) are not "public" and therefore temple weddings where only Mormons with a temple recommend are present are not legally valid. For those who don't live near a temple there may be a legal marriage long before a religious marriage.
