Empire State Pride Agenda Says Re-Electing Four GOP Senators Key to Passing SSM in Other States

 

Gannett news agency:

Ross Levi, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, said gay-rights advocates would be working hard to get the four senators re-elected. He said their re-election would be important to the effort to legalize same-sex marriage in other states.

"As New Yorkers have seen loving same-sex couples getting married — and far from the world coming to an end and instead happy and stronger families — this becomes far less potent of a political issue," Levi said.

The senators received an influx of campaign cash from same-sex marriage supporters following the vote, and they have been feted at gay-rights events.

    "The senators received an influx of campaign cash from same-sex marriage supporters following the vote, and they have been feted at gay-rights events."

    And they have been targeted, their fates are sealed.

    THEY ARE DONE. AND PEOPLE OF FAITH NED TO RISE UP AND CONFRONT THE RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA- AND START TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY FROM A BIBLICAL VIEWPOINT.

    Empire State Pride-Before-A-Fall Agenda is exactly right.

    The four Judases (and I am sad to see that the fifth and worst of them all, Dean Skelos, continues to escape mention) must be defeated.

    It is imperative to let the legislators tempted to sell out to the gay billionaires' cash know that they will be enjoying precisely one turn at the feeding trough if they betray us on this non-negotiable, core, foundational issue.

    But will they be defeated by opponents of SSM?...or by other supporters?

    "happy and stronger families"

    And that claim is based on years and years of--which studies was he citing??

    And people being happier and more strongly committed to doing what they should stop doing is nothing to praise.

    Louis: It is irrelevant who replaces the five Judases.

    The damage is done in New York.

    The defeat of the Judases is imperative, for the salutary message it will deliver to legislators in other jurisdictions, who might imagine themselves able to avail themselves of the marriage corruption movement's cash, without finding themselves unemployed as a consequence.

    @DoE: Seeing as it didn't happen years and years ago, I doubt anybody was claiming that. More like since it happened.

    'Sides, aren't these "rewards" just attempts to counter your attacks?

    I hardly think the effort to maintain a specific definition is the same as attacking someone/thing. Simply digging in our heals. :)
