NY To Honor Out-of-State Same Sex Marriages

Well, now this is a shock.

Governor David Paterson of New York, a huge fan of marriage if fidelity itself isn't much of a concern, has jumped on the bandwagon of homosexual marriage by declaring his state will recognize the same sex marriages of those performed in other states.

Sadly, while this war is not over yet, the writing on the wall seems to say that it will end someday with same-sex marriages being performed in all states in this country. This, of course, barring some sort of Supreme Court intervention or passage of a Marriage Protection Amendment to the Constitution.

That a vast majority of voters resist this, that these legislations are being created by judicial fiat rather than through legislative bodies, that the nosy state has largely wrestled what is a religious union away from religions, that those benefits granted to married couples could be bestowed to partnered homosexuals through either common law or civil unions, and that the primary benefit of marriage is that it provides a stable environment for the raising of children, doesn't seem to be much of a concern when it comes to embracing lifestyles and culture changes that can expand the boundaries of our collectiveness. You see, we will accept this change and we will like it! (And if we don't like it, too bad.)

It is, after all, for our own good.

Enlightenment!
