Huge props to Blabbeando for posting and translating this debate on the “storm” of gay marriage in NYS.

Sometimes leaders say things on the Spanish language media that they wouldn’t say in the English marriage media, or take an issue from a perspective that isn’t usually covered. For example, is Luis Tellez, a board member behind NOM (who are behind the storm commercial)really saying that no fault divorces have done more harm than good to women of color since apparently they are to blame with the problems people of color families face? Sure sounds like it.

Did Tellez just stutter, alot? He couldn’t say what was the role of the church in this whole debate. Tellez also dissed my family since I head a single mami household with two children. And you have to love the posturing of Tellez saying that Pedro Julio Serrano won’t get any hate mail. Cuz GLBT Latinos never get hate mail. They just get killed.

Another New York Latino politico with a long history of homophobia is NY State Senator Rubén Díaz Sr. who is promising to organize all the evangelical Latinos and asking that Governor Paterson step down from office.
