Talking to someone who I am not sure if they want me to put their feelings on here, they said that they really feel bad about voting for Mark Grisanti now that Mark Grisanti is not planning on voting yes. And I thought before that , you know, its still just one issue and I really did not like Antoine Thompson and so I thought it still was a better vote. The more I thought about it and heard them talk about it, I started to realize that really it is prolly one of the biggest issues that affects mine and thousands of others lives. It encompasses so many things and now I have started to realize how important it really is. HOw can Mark Grisanti represent the district he represents and not vote YES> He has switched from No to on the fence which I think is a good sign but whose to know how it will go in the end. Last I heard they only needed 1 more Senator to say yes for it to pass b/c 2 republicans have recently said they switched to yes. How can the person who represents the highly LGBT area in the second largest city in this state vote against it. I e-mailed and called my senator though he is a not anywhere near the fence republican no vote but I felt it still couldn't hurt.
If you live in Grisanti's district or anyone who is voting No's district but particularly Grisanti's, make sure your voice is heard and that no is not an option. If this thing doesn't pass this time I plan on getting much more involved next year when it comes up again. It's something that should and needs to pass now!I don't know why I never really thought about it before but talking to people, reading about it and seeing the people on the street tonight getting people to write and phone their Senator in support of marriage equality really got me thinking about it! I kinda regret my lackadaisical attitude about it before.
How can anyone deny this...
A couple of years ago, before the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, I wrote here that I was amazed that NYS hadn't legalized gay marriage. :::link:::
I wonder if on June 28th, I will even more amazed that 42 years have gone by since Stonewall and still no marriage equality in NYS.
I prefer bastard children.
Such cuteness!
I was joking about where you would get married, (e:Libertad)
You said you aren't engaged but you didn't deny the pregnancy!
We aren't engaged. We want the right to marry should we decide that is what we want to do. A couple of 5 years should have that right.
I wish i could vote. I don't have the same voice as others and I think it would be my number one reason to officially become a US citizen.
Will you get married in the yard @ the 24? :o)
The Article in today's Paper pretty much said he started as a strong no but could vote yes... The Guys is conflicted and if what I understand is correct is that one side of him thinks that gays should be treated equally but he is conflicted because of his Christian upbringing.... No one really knows how the vote will go cause what people say publicly isn't all ways how they vote...... From what I read in this same article I really like this bill and hope it passes. That being said if it does pass I'm sure that won't be the end of the legal battle.... I'm sure someone will try to pass some prop to stop it somewhere like out in CA...... But maybe not......
That was me that voted for Grisanti and was feeling like I made one of the bigggest voting mistakes of my life. It's good to know that he might now vote in favor of marriage equality.
I like this picture and don't remember it at all. Where was that?
(e:tinypliny), you can find out who your NYS Senator is by locating your polling place it will provide you with a list of all of your elected officials. :::link:::
It's really annoying when a representative doesn't represent you! Does Linwood fall in the Grisanti constituency?
Next you will be adopting asian babies.
