Forty-two years after a police raid sparked rioting and perhaps the birth of the American gay rights movement, New Yorkers geared up for the city's annual pride parade Sunday in what many expect to be a celebration of same-sex couples' newly-acquired right to wed.
The parade is expected to meander along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue and pass the famous Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village where the rioting took place in 1969. The parade was set to begin at noon ET.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill Friday that made New York the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage. The new law more than doubles the number of Americans living in states that permit such unions.
The measure will take effect 30 days after it was signed, providing same-sex couples with new rights that include employer health benefits, inheritance laws and a host of new tax benefits.

@ gung hoe and banasy:

banasy is virtuosic with secret technical trick-fingerings, but one can write well on little-bitty buttons.

This contact keeps me sane (as possible).
BTW, I understand you without punctuation!
@gung ho:
Ah, you have a phone that doesn't have a qwirty keyboard...you have one that you have to press the numbers to get the letters.
I get it now, and I feel your frustration!
This is my first phone that has a keyboard, and if I didn't, you'd never see me on here; I never texted anyone either!
Now I can't live without it.
I feel for you!
Bite me, @Punctuation!!!

The worst thing about all that we are seeing in the world is…it’s not enough! That is to make people see what the bible says is true. Nobody can with definity tell me another time in history that compares with this time; earthquakes, natural disaters, floods, tornadoes, fires, wars, diseases, perversions…I could go on! Gay Marraige…what took so long? Bible talks about when they will call evil-good & good-evil. This is not a blog that would hit the news but to whomever it does I hope it open your eyes. You want answers? I know the answer! Like the bible says those earthquakes you saw…ha! Just the beginning… “God if only one person reads this blog let them be curious enough to ask some questions. But after all the questions, I pray they ask the question what must I do to be saved? Answer: 1.confess with your mouth the lord Jesus(ask him to be your lord &savior) 2. Believe in your heart that God raise him from the dead. That simple! Simply he died so that we might have life! IM JUST KEEPIN IT HONEST!
SHAME ON THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ALL OF THE OTHER STATES FOR PASSING A TERRIBLE. THANKS FOR HELPING TO LOWER OUR MORAL STANDARDS IN THE UNITED STATES.
