> [@66impalass](#): > > Marriage is not just a religious term, its also an insurance term as well as a governmental term Yes that is the way it is currently. However it was a religious word first and therefore is the sticking point to the whole debate. Just change the word used and I think most people would be happy. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > ^THIS. > > When the will of the people of the state is to allow it, then it should pass. Personally I don’t care, let them be married and lose half their shit in divorce like the rest of us. If a majority of the people in the state are against it then at least the senate is listening to the people that elected them when they voted it down. No it fucking shouldn’t. It’s a human rights issue. ---

> [@travisn](#): > > how many married couples are involved with the church after their wedding day? Irreverent IMO. The word has religious connotations to it and I think that’s the whole sticking point in the debate. It seems easy enough to fix the issue in order to offer everyone equal protections and rights. ---

I think it DOES matter to people. Do you really think that people like my grandmother give a damn about legal protections for homosexuals? or is it just the use of the term marriage? ---

> [@66impalass](#): > > You are fighting a retarded argument, read what I wrote and tell me that yoru grandmother followed that… I’m not a religious person. So I had to type in that passage into google and it popped on a page called “How to fight the religious right” Nice argument moron. That passage has nothing to do with what I said at all. Nor does it have anything to do with elderly religious types who are against gay “marriage” Your attack is is against those who are religious and who believe in near literal interpretations of the bible. Your going to have to pull another play out of the left-wing playbook for this one. ---

This shit is fucking stupid. Gays should be able to get married too. I’m not allowed to get married in a Catholic church, does that mean my marriage will be called a civil union too? ---

I def do not think that the vote today by the senate was what the majority of nys citizens want. There is no way it could pass by such an overwhelming majority in the assembly without there being a majority of citizens in favor of it. ---

Since when does NY let it’s citizens vote on policy changes anyways? We are the gestapo of the country, remember? ---
