    13

    New York – Same gender couples can start applying for marriage licenses in New York City using online forms that now feature gender-neutral terminology.

    The Office of the City Clerk made new forms available on its website Tuesday.

    The forms allow couples to enter information for “bride,” ”groom” or the gender-neutral “spouse.” Previously, they only allowed for “bride” and “groom.”

    Although couples can begin applying for the $35 licenses, they likely won’t be issued until July 25 — the first business day after the state’s law legalizing gay marriage becomes active.

    State law requires couples to wait 24 hours to wed, though a waiver can be requested of a judge.

    New York legalized same-sex marriages on June 24.

    I’m not sure what is surprising about this change. Now that gay marriage is legal in New York, why would you care about the gender of the applicants for a marriage license.

    What about people who insist that they have a right to wed a sibling, parent or grandparent G-d forbid? Should that right also be sanctioned by the government?!

    ‘Gay’s claim they’re ‘equal’ to ‘nons.’
    If they can’t bear offspring of what value are they to the future of society?
    Simply, they’re not ‘equal’ in a very important matter.
    They were given the ‘blessing’ of life but won’t give this blessing to others (Others, like bachelors, also fall into this category.)
    If the ‘same-sexers’ have no new members they’ll all die out in about 60 years.
    Goodbye!
