SUckas!

Another SAD day...

for human rights

The Journal News, printed an editorial today entitled “Justice Denied.”

They point out that a recent poll showed 51 percent of New Yorkers favors gay marriage to just 42 percent opposed.

While Westchester County used to be quite conservative, more recently, that county decided to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere even before Gov. Patterson issued his executive order recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages statewide. Guess Westchester isn’t so conservative anymore.

The Hamptons on Long Island are a wealthy community. The East Hampton Star printed an editorial called, “Albany Wrong on Gay Marriage.” They point out that same-sex marriage could pump $50 million in business and travel money into the state’s economy. Oh, so it’s about money! The right wing has been using the issue as a fundraising tool for years. It really has nothing to do with love or family or marriage.

The Albany Times Union called the senate vote “New York’s Shame.” The editorial said the senate voted to make same-sex couples second class citizens. OK, so not such a hard sell in a city where the Republican candidate for mayor came in fourth in the last election and where McGovern trounced Nixon in the 1972 election. My school – SUNY Albany – reluctantly allows military recruiters on campus after the so-called Patriot Act forced schools to do so. However, the president of the university once told me that they always have the LGBT group seated at a table next to them.

The New York Times wrote in its editorial “Voting for Discrimination,” that Gov. Patterson was simply to weak to get the measure passed.

Long Island Newsday had rainbow flags on their cover.

Maybe these papers should have been more vocal in their support

BEFORE the vote.

AK-47s for The Holiday Season? No Problem.

With legislation to close the gun-show loophole stalled in Congress, Virginia Tech shooting survivor Collin Goddard teamed up with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence to show just how easy it is for anyone to legally buy firearms—even individuals who would otherwise be barred from gun ownership, such as convicited felons or domestic abusers.

While most gun purchases require prospective buyers to submit to a National Instant Check System background check by the FBI, in 33 states proof of residency is all that's needed to buy firearms from unlicensed private dealers at gun shows. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives estimated that each year some 2,000 to 5,000 gun-shows take place nationwide.
