    NY Gov. Cuomo signs gay marriage law

    ALBANY, New York (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed New York's gay marriage bill, starting what is expected to be a crush of gay weddings starting in 30 days.

    The Democratic governor signed the measure shortly before midnight Friday, following up on a promise to put his name on the legislation as soon as he received it rather than wait the usual 10 days to sign it for it to become law.

    New York lawmakers narrowly voted to legalize same-sex marriage, handing activists a breakthrough victory in the state where the U.S. gay rights movement was born.

    New York will become the sixth state where gay couples can wed and the biggest by far.

      Women I can not comment on, I am not a woman. But there is no way I could ever believe, that a man could make me feel the same or better than a woman does. I could never be sexually attracted to a man! Gives me the creeps. Being with a lady, intamately, just brings out the most wonderful and relaxing feelings, sometimes there are no words to describe how awesome it feels! Yes gay men have the right to say its their choice. But no thank you, only a woman will ever get hold of me!

      Why do you invite people to post comments when you don't post them? Disgusting.
      • dancinggirl 10 mths ago
        And not only do they not post them, but the ones they do post are ridiculous and offensive. Who is censoring these things?

      I am cool with Gay Marriage - but what about polygamy why is that illegal ?
      Suppose I want a second wife.
    • JL  •  10 mths ago
      If gay marriage is ok - then polygamy should be legalized as well. Suppose a woman wants to marry two men? why should she be an outlaw?
    • TheTruth  •  10 mths ago
      No problem here, more women for me.

      Good job New York! Finally some good news in the fight against regressive and backwards policies. Now if we could just get some real campaign finance reform we'll finally be moving in the right direction

      Why call it marriage, that is for heterosexuals. Now it is ruined.
      • John 10 mths ago
        ...because heterosexuals were just doing soooo well with the institution of marriage.

        ...wouldn't it just flip you off if gay divorce rates were 1/3 those of hetero's????

      Christian and Religious haters, HERE is what we are doing this week-- Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) and Catholic Charities of North Dakota are coordinating with local organizations and preparing to assist with the impact of flooding in Minot. CCUSA and local Catholic Charities agencies are still in the process of rebuilding the lives and homes of Joplin, Missouri residents, while serving the flood-impacted areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, as well as various tornado-impacted communities across the country. Catholic Charities of North Dakota will provide immediate relief to disaster victims in Minot, which will include food, shelter, utility assistance and other key services. Catholic Charities USA's members provide help and create hope for more than 9 million people a year regardless of religious, social, or economic backgrounds. For almost 300 years, Catholic Charities agencies have worked to reduce poverty by providing a myriad of vital services in their communities, ranging from health care and job training to food and housing. In 2010, Catholic Charities USA celebrated its centennial anniversary. AND IN Contrast...the selfish ultra-libs are patting themselves on the back calling themselves the "caring" group. You are dancing and celebrating the Gay community being able to manipulate the genitals of same sex people and call it marriage by subversive methods? What a joke. YOU all need to read the book "Who Really CARES?" by Arthur Brooks, a liberal Syracuse University Professor who thought the libs were the real caring people. HE found out otherwise. God Bless the Religous and healers. Damn the idolators, fornicators and selfish non-humans, they should be avoided.

      So they allow gay people marry, but don't allow us to say what we think. How is this freedom of any sort, I would like to know?
      • PUMA MAN 10 mths ago
        it doesn't pertain to you only gay people.
      • John 10 mths ago
        You can say whatever you want.
        You just don't have the power to inflict your views on others.
      • thudar9 10 mths ago
        Just as I suspected - it is a law that discriminates - there are no rights granted to those who refuse to marry a gay couple.
    • Adam  •  10 mths ago
      I dont have a problem with religious people at all. I do have a problem when they use their religion as a club to dehumanize their fellow Americans, and deny them equal protection under the law that the 14th amendment requires. Gays in NY just got the same legal protections, and benefits any straight couple is legally entitled to. No more no less.When you get married you dont just fall and love, and get a certificate. you get benefits, and legal advantages. Any american that thinks their countrymen should be denied the privileges you get, should seriously rethink how they feel about the constitution and the freedoms our troops fight to defend. Way to go NY.
      • jiffydad 10 mths ago
        this is exactly the type of "undecided" thinking that comes across so comforting to most people. Listen to yourself, you don't have a problem. Why? Christian religions hate the topic of gays for good reason- because its wrong, When its wrong, its wrong and no law should be passed to show acceptance of that period.

        Well said Jiffydad

      MANY PEOPLE ARE OK WITH GAY SEX AND MARRIAGE, BECAUSE it gives them their satisfaction, BUT ITS AGAINST BIBLE AND CHRISTIANITY.
