By a vote of 38 to 24 — in other words, not even close — the New York State Senate gave gays a big thumbs down Wednesday. Read the New York Times story here.

Well done, New York. You’ve proven that you’re in league with evil: Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Jim Inhofe, secretly-gay Charlie Crist, all the other politicians/celebrities/assholes out there who seem to think it matters where a man puts his pee-pee.
Why write like a child? Because denying gays and lesbians the right to marry is childish. It’s fearful. It’s hateful. It’s stupid. If all you religious nuts out there are really so sure that “these people” (read: fags) are going to burn in Hell, why not pass gay marriage and let God sort it all out in the afterlife?
