    seaneldridge:

    The New York State Senate voted against marriage equality today.  To the Senators who voted to continue to deprive gay and lesbian citizens of equal rights: we’re coming after you.  Start looking for work.

    I thought New York was better than this. It’s been 40 years since the civil rights movement. And we’re still upholding an archaic institution that fails 50% of the time and only truly works about 20% of the time for the other 50% who stay in marriages.

    I’m sorry.
