Yes, someone who mattered finally had a change of heart, with what was once 30 votes to approve same-sex marriage in NY just became 31. Who might this be, you ask?
| Quote: | | Sen. Roy McDonald (R-Saratoga) - in a dramatic reversal from his earlier opposition - became the second GOPer in as many days to give his blessing to same-sex nuptials, bringing Senate support to 31 votes. |
No, you read that right. A Republican of all people. A twist like this is something M. Night Shyamalan could never conjure up.
| Quote: | McDonald's change of heart came hours after Archbishop Timothy Dolan led a band of religious groups hustling to halt the momentum.
"The stampede is on," Dolan wrote in a blog post. "Our elected senators who have stood courageous in their refusal to capitulate on the state's presumption to redefine marriage are reporting unrelenting pressure to cave in." |
The ironing is delicious.
| Quote: | | Dolan equated the move to allow same-sex marriage to life in China or North Korea, where "government presumes daily to 'redefine' rights, relationships, values and natural law." |
"But it's OK if I do it!"
| Quote: | | "Please, not here!," Dolan wrote. "We cherish true freedom, not as the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought." |
"Allowable freedoms, like the right to vote, free speech, etc. And not unacceptable freedoms, like murder, arson, rape, and offending my imaginary sky magician friend!"
| Quote: | "You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing," McDonald, 64, told reporters.
"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f--- it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing.
"I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this." |
Shut. Down. EVERYTHING. This is too fucking real.
Some day, the rest of America will come to the day when it will uphold the freedoms and rights of all it's citizens, kicking and screaming if need be. |

Proving that you're never too realize the truth; life is a complicated business, full of shades of gray, and not a bloody made-for-TV movie.
Congratulations for doing what you felt was the right thing, Mr. McDonald. |

| This could very well just be an addendum to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], since it features the same Senator. It's totally awesome, though. |

Not only that, but it's about the same decision and the same quote. |

Damn those gays, wanting to settle down, get married, and raise children. The downfall of marriage and society itself is at hand! |
