New York – In one of the nation’s largest displays of support for alternative life style, tens of thousands of people in cities across the country turned out in support of same gender marriage on Saturday.

It was the second major protest within days in New York.
Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner, who is seen as a possible challenger to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, told the rally he would push for same-sex marriage to be introduced to New York. “America is not the country we should be until we overturn things like Proposition 8,” said Mr Weiner, who was introduced as a “straight ally of marriage equality”.
“We are not going to rest until every citizen in every state in our country has the right to stand up and say this is the man or woman in the form of marriage,” he said
Bum
what a fool
is he a yid?
Sorry to say but there is no other candidate left for Mayor that us frum ppl. Can vote for exept for Mike !!!
Does he really want to bring down this country? We just read about Sidom and Amorah yesterday.
Politically speaking, I have no problem with a secular society giving certain privileges (joint-filing status) to roommates who can prove they share expenses, etc. But toeva unions are not marriage. Period.
Toeva unions certainly not good for “their” kids, either, so I don’t know why he’s looking to legalize state-sanctioned child-endangerment, because that’s basically what it boils down to, if either one of the pair decide to actually have kids.
I always suspected he was one of those.
The man knows nothing about the law in this country. There is something called a VOTE BT THE PEOPLE and in CA the PEOPLE voted. Unlike most people on this blog, I actually read the prop and what was going to happen. They were going to do away with ALL mentions of HUSBAND & WIFE and replace with other terms.
Weiner MUST be stopped & furthermore, if he supports this kind of stuff, Y’ALL BETTER NOT ELECT HIM!
A yiddish blog is not the place 4 this article
Didn’t wiener complain about bloomberg overturning the will of the people by extending term limits? Now the people in california voted on this issue no reason to march winer
(A yiddish blog is not the place 4 this article)
WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR NARROW MIND!
Gay and Lesbians do exist in the very frum /chassidish world.
DEAL WITH IT!
Down with Wiener!!
I hope the Rabbis and Community leaders will have the courage to do what’s right and make sure he’s never again elected to office. Let’s vote him out!
Dear Mr. Weiner;
I believe strongly that all men are created equal. It is true that that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Is the acceptence of gay marriage into society, one of these rights?
When do we stop at the “pursuit of happiness”? Do we stop at underage marriage? After all just because someones 16, does that mean they dont have any rights?
There is a book that is the code of law, to 2/3 of the world. In this book of Leviticis chapter 18 verse 24 it states; “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, for it is an abomination.”
These words were spoken by G-d, not by Thomas Jefferson (who borrowed it from an Italian friend, Philip Mazzei). If you want us voters to consider you a product of G-d, and not an abomination I suggest you retract your statements.
I think America is in a grave dangerous situation. States that want to emulate Sedom and Amorah might not escape Hashem’s wrath…
WHY? I’m sure that the majority ogf NY voters don’t favor such a outrageous proposal. It’s just the small vocal minority that participate in these immoral activities. Maybe, since the Congressman never married, he has no clue about the meaning and sanctity of marriage.
He probably had my vote against Bloomberg until this.
Sodom voted NO on 8.
for a liberal, it’s all about the will of the people – but of course that’s only if they agree with the people.
Now who are we going to vote for? the only one left is Mayor Mike.
i will accept that obama won the election but the liberals to accept that proposition 8 won.
this is so sick can’t comment
he is crazy, he wont win the himeshe olam
Licho’reh this gye knows that he has no chance against bloomberg so he has to try apeasing all the mnuvolim from this gevaldigeh melting pot city that’s mekabel every kind of shmutz & tumeh under the sun and we all know that there are many many of these menuvolim around so there you go make a rally 1 day in soho then in noho the in the tribekeh & maybe maybe you stand a slim chance
Mr weiner Dont bet on our support if you support deviant life styles
I’d vote for a dog before Mike Bloomberg. There’ll be someone else than Weenie Weiner in the race. He/she will get my vote.
I hope there is another alternative besides for this fool or Come Again Mike.
what a weiner…
DISGUSTING. I just hope if proposition 8 comes for a vote in NY the frum olim will have enough courage to stand with others to vote against these “people”. Make sure you register.
I don’t think VIN should have posted this as news fit fir VIN readers
There is other canidate his name is Tony Avella a councilman from Queens but he has no chance since he doesn’t take money from special intrest groups
frumkeit isnt an excuse to be homophobic. enough said!
In what kind of inviroment r we gona bring up our kinderlich? How will our grand and great grand children stay erlich? #13 do you suggest we start talking about this in shul or at our nightly shiur? Or should we just accsept it in our comunity?
Why narrow minded & blind people can’t see the obvious surprises me. We live in a democracy. So abortion is legal as is homosexuality. Additionally, although a strong argument can be made against it, I understand it if gay people wish to have the same rights as married couples, e.g. medical “spouse” benefits, tax benefits, etc.
But to demand that they have the right to call themselves “married”, and that we have to call them “husband & wife” or whatever, is ridiculous. They want our “Haskamah” that they are just like a man & his wife? What arrogance. What if we pass a law that forces us to call them “sir” because we respect their deviant lifestyle. Ridiculous. Once we give them all rights they shouldn’t have the nerve to ask for marriage licenses. What nexy? Why not a brother & sister or son & mother who want a marriage license? How about pets?
I’m afraid that fighting gay rights is a loosing batle.
I’ll vote for William Thompson ( Black) who’s a real decent honest guy or Christine Quinn (Gay) who is highly intelligent & seems like a decent enough woman.
Mike??? Never in a million years. I’d rather not vote & I ALWAYS vote.
#42 I agree with you. They just want it to be called a “MARRIAGE” which it isn’t and will not be happy even if they’ll have equal rights. “Arrogance” is the perfect word you used to describe them with..
#39 ……..Think Moshiach!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe it! what a pig.
Why is it bad for wiener but ok for Rudy?
whats the difference? Rudy favors the same thing!
Let that bill pass… In a few years New York will be a Repoblican State!!! After proposition 8 and abbortion there will be no dems to deal with!!!
