70% of Existing Marriages May Already Be Gay
New Study Yields Surprising Results

http://www.borowitzreport.com/

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - As lawmakers in New York clashed over legalizing gay marriage, a new study revealed that well over seventy percent of existing marriages may already be gay.

The study, conducted by Dr. Davis Logsdon of the Marital Behavior Institute at the University of Minnesota, confirmed what many social scientists have long suspected: that within the first five years of marriages, most men become, for all intents and purposes, gay.

“Soon after marrying, most men stop hitting on women and start shopping for furniture,” Dr. Logsdon said. “Scientifically speaking, how gay is that?”

Within ten years of marriage, he added, a significant number of married men stop having sex with women altogether.

“There’s only one way to describe someone who does not have sex with women, does not hit on women, and spends his free time shopping for furniture,” he said. “That word, to be scientific about it, is gay.”

Elsewhere, by a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court asked Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor to make them coffee.

I'm hopping it will be today. I seriously think it can happen. Party at my pad if it does.
 
There are reports now that a 32nd vote has been secured, but still no word on when or if they will allow the bill to be voted on.

Deano Machino just announced, on the Senate floor, that the Republicans are going back into a conference at 6:15 eastern time.

They could come to a decision on whether to take a vote there. *crosses fingers*

I don't even know what they would be voting on. As far as I know, the final language of the bill still hasn't been agreed to. Don't they need a completed piece of proposed legislation to have a vote?
 
Am I being too idealistic, or would passage be a fitting Stonewall 42nd Anniversary gift? Imagine... :rb:
 
Still totally uncertain. There still is no final agreement on the language or to hold a vote. Time is running out.

I've been reading that there are 34, over at Prop8TrialTracker.

Not sure about one of those three, but I'd wager the other two are Lanza and Grisanti. Maybe Saland is joining them?

I agree. I bet Seland was the one who came forward the other night, while Lanza and Grisanti would be the next ones. I think there's a decent chance Ball will vote in favor of it as well.

The Republican conference is meeting today. Sources close to the caucus say the language will be approved and the bill sent to the floor tonight.
 
No decision has been made to have a vote. The Republicans are meeting again to decide that question.
 
I'm still pessimistic.

The fate of the bill is in the hands of the Republicans, most of whom want to see it fail.

Session ended for the night. Still no vote. Still no plan for a vote.

I'm making an official prediction that this thing dies for the session. *Maybe* we'll get a special session, but that's up to Cuomo.

Of course it's dead. I knew it was dead as soon as I heard Skelos would only allow a vote if a majority of the Republicans wanted it.

Republicans can ALWAYS be counted on to deny gay people equal rights, regardless of where they live.
 
I've read that the only reason it wasn't brought to the floor tonight was because it could not be printed by midnight, which was when the Senate ajouned. Greg Ball indicated he would vote no because he was not satisfied with the religious exemptions in the final bill. I take this to mean the conference has approved the final language.

I think the Republicans know that not allowing a vote will seal their fate and cost them the majority in 2012.

Should they ajourn without voting, many inside the Senate predict Cuomo would call them back in special session and force a vote. He's determined to pass this.
 
^ Cuomo cannot force a vote.

And Greg Ball is a sleazy two timing dirtbag who was always going to vote no anyway and only came out as "undecided" so he could be involved in pushing for more religious protections just in case it passed.

Indeed, anyone thinking otherwise was kidding themselves.
And while I have no doubt the delays are stalling tactics,them not being ready also has a ring of truth of it.
If there's one thing our legislature is known for, it's not being on time with anything.
 
Cuomo can't force a vote, but he can force a special session until it is voted on.

Reports are that the bill (and other outstanding pieces of legislation) is being printed off in the early morning hours, so a vote today is a near certainty.
