Where are these groups getting their financing? I wonder if any tax laws are being broken?

Does anyone else see the irony in the anti-gay right now asking THE COURTS to overturn a majority vote of New York’s elected representatives?

They were against “judicial activism” — now they are for it.

Looking at the photo, those kids are overdressed for a NY summer, so I don’t think it is current.
However, child care principles still apply to their parents current activities. Making kids stand in the streets, holding signs that cause them public humiliation, is definately abuse. If this is still going on, child welfare authorties should investigate.

Surely someone has a sumilar current photo taken in NY that they can forward to the child welfare autorities with a request for an investigation.

Diaz is a misogynist and idiot to boot. The sore losers are trying anything they believe might work. Their tactics are doomed as are they.

The Plaintiffs seem not to understand that their attorneys were only too glad to take their money in order to file this ridiculous law suit. It is apparent from the text of the complaint that the Plaintiffs sought but were denied a temporary restraining order. Such an order would have prevented the law from going into effect. That the request was denied says that a judge already determined that the plaintiffs don’t have standing and that the case is likely without merit. The reason the plaintiffs don’t have standing is that they were not harmed by the law going into effect. Additionally, as the plaintiffs know, religious groups were represented in the negotiations over the law and the final law does include so-called “religious protections.” The whole claim that religious gay-bashers were excluded from the law-making process is false. Any judge looking at this complaint document will of course realize that (in addition to knowing that the plaintiffs don’t have standing to bring this case). Cuomo’s office’s comment about the case is that the plaintiffs don’t know even the basics of the law. Cuomo’s office was correct.

There are ALWAYS bigots and racists and other “Ists” that will get riled up whenever their bigotry is challanged.

Remember after the schools were integrated, crowds of people lined up and were spitting at those few black students who were integrating the schools……..how does history now judge those people? It’s going to judge these anti-marriage protestors the same way.

I cant help but abhor the parents of these kids. I do get their point of views as adults but to drag their kids into this issue is very disappointing. Geez, let them play.
