In the ever challenging quest to divine the will of the people, a Times scribe ventured to the lion's den to seek out opinion on NY's new same sex marriage law....The reporter went to the Mount Carmel Feast, the signature event for St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Watertown....The Bishops have blasted the new law and one would think these fine Catholics would follow suit...
However, Brian Amarel reports the people he talked to are either in favor or indifferent....Of course the bitterly opposed are not likely to talk to a shaggy haired, liberal-looking reporter, but I am sure Brian took that sampling bias into account when writing his local reaction piece.
I have sampled opinion too in my talk-show, bar room, seat of government world. The reaction is pretty much the same except for one senior radio announcer who is indeed ballistic over this latest bit of heresy and blasphemy.
Some think its a silly distraction...but as far as virulent homophobia, I hear none, as even the most rightious is anxious to tell us they 'have a gay friend.' In that sense gay is the new black.
There will be a media scrum on July 25 when the first gay couple ventures into the gazebo in front of City Hall or into the chambers of a town justice and repeats the vows in front of God and Channel 7.
After that the only evidence will be weeks or months later when same sex names show up in the published divorces...A list that rivals obits and DWI's for popularity in news-starved NNY.
Watertown Daily Times North country weighs in on gay marriage

It is indeed the new black. Specifically because the self appointed leaders for both special interests are jerks and most of the advocates are motivated by "gay guilt" in the same sense as black guilt got Obama elected.
And if it were not for these leaders and advocates being jerks they could have had civil unions 25 years ago and those unions would already be considered marriage by today.
But instead those people chose to have a temper tantrum and do it this way. Which took three decades and countless sitcom episodes to soften up the electorate.
Meanwhile, virtually everyone has been tolerant of the lifestyle. The gym memberships allow for "partners", health insurance covers "partners"...pretty much every right already existed for gays in this state.
This whole thing is about the left attacking Christians...you can bet if Muslims came out against this then the left would have to rethink it.
Now my whole life is ruined. I never married but if I did it would be meaningless now that people who actually love each other, can get married. And not just to fulfill parental expectations either. Now freaking marriage is all about love and sharing. The gays have ruined it. I am so upset right now, I have to examine whom I'm really attracted too. I hate hard, easy is when others tell me what is best for me.
That map you posted is very interesting, Jeff. I'd have no problem with gay marriage, marriage for trees, polygamy, whatever, as long as you had to live in those areas afterwards.
"shaggy haired, liberal-looking reporter"
What makes one look liberal? I didn't realize you could tell a person's political beliefs by looking at them.
The WDT story was typical crap. They interviewed only people in favor of the change. It was MSM that pushed for this joke in the first place. They got their way. It's no surprise they had to follow through with a fluff piece to support their own efforts. I think it's really neat the way it worked out. Very cool. Fashionable. Progressive. Mindless. Meaningless. Now let's get busy on what matters. Jobs, taxes, opportunity for our kids.
Truly a new low point for NYS , we are suffering thru a depression and this mindless , selfish, completely pandered drivel was a priority.
Well fortunately many of us have the ability to leave this dungheap to those who choose to wallow in the slime
