Reader comment on:
Gay Marriage Bill ‘Very Likely' To Pass Assembly in Near Future
in response to reader comment: TOLERANCE? YES APPROVAL? NO

Submitted by Robert Reilly, Jun 16, 2007 10:35

This is a social justice issue. My religion (and my husband's) support marriage equality for same sex couples. It is simply false to suggest that allowing same sex couples the right to marry will have a negative financial impact in New York State. Does Mr. Paquet realize that ALL the taxes he has ever or will ever pay wouldn't pay for the cost of one day in the ongoing wars fueled by the Bush administaration? Get your head out of the ground-you're a bigot.
