New York legalizes gay marriage — What do you think?

Late Friday, the state of New York reached a monumental decision with the approval of same-sex marriage, officially becoming the sixth and largest state to legalize gay marriage. Shortly after the decision was announced, a large crowd gathered outside the state capitol to celebrate.

The fate of the bill was left uncertain until moments before the vote Friday, when it was narrowly approved by a vote of 33 to 29.

New York now joins Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia as the only states/provinces that permit same-sex marriage.

Question is…Do you think same-sex marriage will eventually be legalized throughout the United States? What is your take on the passing of the bill in New York?

This is great. Love doesn’t come in a certain gender and a lot of people don’t understand that! I don’t live in New York, but I once lived there and regret moving. I have a girlfriend here in Florida and we might now move to New York to live our life in PEACE.

Well it was only a matter of time. With the humongous gay population there it was well needed. (Come on Cali. Tick tock) Not to say only highly gay populated states should legalize. ALL states should legalize since this is America and we do kinda brag about equal opportunities and equal rights. Marriage is a LEGAL documentation not just a religious ceremony. Atheists get married. Why shouldn’t EVERYONE (including homosexuals) else?
