Oh, those hilarious politicians; the New York ones this time who agonized over losing either the gay vote or the religious vote in arguments that clearly declared the two to be mutually exclusive.  In the end, a few Republicans, (whose constituents, I guess, are wealthy, straight, rich, god-fearing and wealthy), must have been counseled by a cloistered, (closeted), priest who secretly believes that god may, in fact, love, or at least tolerate the gays.  And…voila!  2011…the real summer of love!  We should keep this all in perspective, however.  Marriage is still marriage and the same sex variety will, unfortunately, shortly give new meaning to the term “gay divorcee”.  In the meantime, let’s see how long it takes the churches that so adamantly oppose gay marriage to find an exclusionary principle to allow some accommodation, especially for lavish, big spending affairs…you know, the kind god really likes.
