Good for New York!

I’ll say it again. Good for New York!

  1. Hear hear!! We aren't where we need to be yet, the divorce of marriage from the non-consensual sector, but better a reasonable, less unfair mafia family than an utterly bigoted one.

  2. Isn't this an expansion of government?

  3. Not really. If the fire department in a town decided they would only put out fires in straight peoples' houses and a group of activists convinced them that LGBT people also deserved to have fires at their homes put out, it wouldn't be an expansion of the state. The same logic applies here. All the state is doing is applying its approach to couples engaged in a particular contractual arrangement to another group. No one here would argue that the state should be in the marriage business at all, but if they're going to be they should be fair about it.
