A bill that would have allowed same-sex marriage was rejected by New York
lawmakers, a stunning outcome for advocates in a state that was the site of one
of the gay rights movement's defining moments four decades ago, and a huge
victory for opponents who said it could influence votes
elsewhere. (NY traditional marriage supporters
celebrate )
"It's just a huge win," said Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for
Marriage, a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to protect
marriage. "It's going to help cement defeat for gay marriage in New Jersey, and
I think it's going to get a whole bunch of politicians in New Hampshire who
voted for gay marriage this year pretty nervous when they come up for election."
(This is good news. I hope those who keep pushing same sex marriage on us will start to learn the American people don't want it from the Bible based south to even those states who mostly look at things from the left.)
