Same sex marriages in New York

So, only six states in the USA allow same sex marriages. NY is now one of them.
Do you feel this is a good thing and that perhaps more states should follow their example or are you troubled by all of this? Your thoughts please.

They got around it by calling them 'civil partnerships' rather then marriages which is a copout.
Personally I think James and Felix should apply for one - I'd go to the wedding.
I say good on NY. Lets all Live and Let Live.
SSM has been legal in various parts of Canada since 2003. With every year that goes by straight people see that the sun still comes up and that their lives aren't affected at all. No staright couples that I know have been forced to get divorced because of SSM and no straight people have been forced to marry someone of their own gender because of SSM - so the two arguments above are false.
Every time I've debated someone on gay marriage - including a former Leader of the Opposition at a town hall meeting - it always comes down to them not liking gay marriage. Is that a good enough reason to deny something to someone? At one point the majority of people, whether nationally, in a state, or in a city would have been opposed to inter-racial marriage. Should they have been allowed to dictate that inter-racial marriage should be illegal? What if someone is upset about a native-born Canadian marrying a foreign national (my uncle's wife is from New Zealand). Should they be allowed to prevent them from getting married? There were guys I worked with who would often make it known that when two overrweight people were a couple the idea of them having sexual relations was disgusting. Should they be allowed to prevent overweight couples from getting married simply because what happens in their bedroom seems disgusting to them?
As for people who say that we need to keep the "traditional" view of marriage I ask, which one? The idea of trading a daughter for property? Polygamy, like in the bible? There used to be a "tradition" of not letting women vote - do we need to keep that tradition as well? Or is it acceptable to pick and choose which traditions we "need" to keep, like how some people claim SSM is bad because of the Bible yet these same people have pre-marital sex, eat shellfish, wear clothes with mixed fibres, and don't honour the commandment about "Thou shall not steal" (downloading movies off the internet instead of buying the DVD).
J /k !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I myself think it's wrong and unnatural period.
I understand that a lot of human beings say they are born that way and it feels strange not to be what they are. Maybe there is a gene that makes you that way, maybe it's just you're conditioned into being that way...who knows? But I do feel that is wrong. Now do we put this into law....no....do we force people to live a double life....no....I don't know what the answer is but to say SSM are the norm and are acceptable to me it's just wrong.
I'm just waiting for Tommy Girl to come out of the closet and stop being a hypocrite.
Calling it wrong is basically labeling homosexuality a bad thing. It really isn't. It's just not standard or the majority.
Dude, a very dark, phobic and actually unrealistic response, there are enough swingers out there and single people of the older generation having unprotected sex so you can't just level AIDS at same sex marriage, it actually contains it to some respect. I am in a heterosexual marriage but just wish that people would relax about this issue for the reasons stated above.
What makes me laugh is the ancient great civilisations e.g. Greeks, the Romans, etc all took part in homosexual acts and orgies yet it is modern day gay people who carry the stigma...
There are reckless people out there but isn't everyone I can assure you.
If its the will of the people in some states to change the definition, then good for them.
That way California, middle America, Texas etc isn't dictated to by a handful of states.
Bond and Felix btw did seem to be dating briefly in QoS. If they hadn't been interrupted by gunmen at the Bolivian bar, it looked like they were considering getting a room.
So take a wild guess as to which one.
