Ay New York, You’ve Let Me Down : Gay Marriage Bill Fails to Pass in State Senate
2 Dec 2009I’m supposed to be working another job right now and not blogging, pero I wanted to express extreme disappointment in the The Marriage Equality Act not passing in the NY State Senate.
The vote was 38-24.
Hiram Monserrate, my state senator, whom I have written about, apparently has no love for women, and has no love for the many LGBT residents in his district and trust me, there are many. He, a Democrat, voted against the act, and I would be more than down to help organize some sort of protest in front of this vendegente’s office.

Rubén Díaz Sr – You call yourself african American. You are far as being African as you are to being a Martian. Look to Africa, Look to South Africa. 20 years we supressed what you now call your herritage African American. You are just a homophobic American. If you were African then you would have supported this Since the most Powerful economy and two of the creates leaders of this time Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu allow gay South Africans to get married. So I would drop the african in your false make up and accept being an homophobic American, and stay away from Africa you are a discrage the our continent.
