New York Becomes The Sixth State To Legalize Same Sex Marriage

Follow this link:

The fight for same sex marriage in America has been a long and strenuous one with only a few states in our country allowing homosexual couples to legally get married. As of today, the state of New York as been added to that list as the sixth state in America to legalize same sex marriage, making it the largest state in our country where homosexuals can wed. According to the New York Times , the bill was approved with a 33 to 29 vote. Outside of the voting area stood a crowd of protesters chanting and waving signs that stated, “support traditional marriage” while those in favor of passing the bill held signs that stated, “Love is love, Vote Yes”. The law will go into effect 30 days after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signs the bill, allowing homosexual couples to legally get married by the middle of this summer. This is a huge step toward equality for the gay community in New York- the place where the national gay rights movement was born, and with this weekend being “Gay Pride Weekend” in New York City, this couldn’t have happened at a better time. President Barack Obama visited New York yesterday and addressed this issue. He explained to the gay community that having the right to get married would take time but stated, “I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as every other couple in this country”.

Tracy Morgan’s Co-Stars “Disgusted And Appalled” By His Statements

Tracy Morgan apparently is taking more heat after the release of his homophobic rant last week during a comedy show in Nashville, Tennessee. This time however the heat stems from his “30 Rock” co-stars and executive producer Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey. According to Huffington Post , gay rights activist and executive producer Tina Fey released a somewhat lengthy statement on her views of Morgan’s comments stating: “I hope for his sake that Tracy’s apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian coworkers at “30 Rock,” without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket.” True indeed. Fey also added: “Stand-up comics may have the right to “work out” their material in its ugliest and rawest form in front of an audience, but the violent imagery of Tracy’s rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community. One of Tracy’s openly gay co-stars, Cheyenne Jackson, of “30 Rock,” also shared his distaste in Morgan’s rant stating he was “disgusted and appalled by Morgan.” Tsk, tsk, tsk, Tracy. I smell damage control. Read more about what Morgan’s co-stars had to say here .
