NY Governor Paterson introduces a bill to allow gay marriage

Diaz also said it is "disrespectful" of Paterson to introduce the legislation in the same week that Catholics celebrated the installation of New York City Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

Paterson attended the ceremony Wednesday at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

"I think it's a laugh in the face of the new archbishop," Diaz said Thursday before the start of his meeting. "The Jews just finished their holy week. The Catholics just received the new archbishop. The evangelical Christians just celebrated Good Friday and resurrection. He comes out to do this at this time? It's a challenge the governor is sending to every religious person in New York and the time for us has come for us to accept the challenge."

Ummmm ya... I don't see that. I'm pretty sure Paterson didn't introduce this bill because of or in spite of the new archbishop; he did it because gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and protections under the law as everyone else. People like this... *facepalm*

At any rate, let's hope New York does the right thing! Fingers crossed!

Diaz is just trying to start trouble. He's being a dick and wants to draw our attention elsewhere while the bill is in the house. I'm not buying it!
