    Oh, no Miss CA is going to have a cow.

    ALBANY — The State Assembly approved legislation on Tuesday night that would make New York the sixth state to allow same-sex marriage — a pivotal vote that shifts the debate to the State Senate, where gay rights advocates and conservative groups alike are redoubling their efforts.

    In a sign of how opinion in Albany has shifted on the issue, several members of the Assembly who voted against the measure in 2007 voted in favor of it on Tuesday.

    The final vote was 89 to 52, including the backing of five Republicans.


    Times they are a changing.

    If enough states pass it, at some point the full "faith and credit" clause should kick in.

    There's an interesting tension between the full faith and credit clause and a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act, which purports to invalidate the cons utional guarantee of full faith and credit:

    No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.
    Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
    If we reach that point, I'm just dying to read Wild Cobra's reconciliation of the tension in a manner that favors the legislative enactment over the cons ution.

    Too bad Texas won't ever recognize or approve of gay marraige (or even civil unions) without completely redrafting the cons ution.

    What an informed and mature decision. And all sexuals do not have Hilton's back. They find him just as repulsive sensible heterosexuals.

    Tension? More like out and out contradiction. If the Supreme Court ever takes it up (or civil unions), I suppose Kennedy will be the deciding vote, and he did author the Romer v. Evans majority opinion.

    So pollute our culture with the 'acceptance' of gots.

    Effeminate men. Fairies. Men who talk in high pitched voices and don't behave like a man should at all. Not all gays behave like that, but most do.

    Manu, just sit down. You can't compete with me on an intellectual level. All you can do is call people names. Congratulations, you can get along with 6 year olds.

    Who will be the first state to make polygamy legal? Why isn't there an uproar for polygamists' rights?

    Nothing's wrong with polygamy. Polygamists are born that way. They don't decide who they fall in love with.

    Not only are you a dumb ass, you're a bigoted one at that. The whole "marriage is an ins ution" schtick could be understood if you were a religious person, deep set in your beliefs and were reluctant to give in to change... but what your dumb ass has proven in this thread is that the only reason you're against gay marriage is because you don't want to "pollute our culture with the 'acceptance' of gots".

    You an ignorant prick, with delusions of grandeur Heat. Your intellectual level isn't high enough to compute, let alone compete...
