Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] seachanges: Republican NY State Senator Roy McDonald's Awesome Defense Of Gay Marriage.

Relevant quote:

"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing," McDonald, 64, told reporters.

"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing.

"I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this."


Also this:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg--an outspoken gay marriage advocate and the single biggest donor to New York Republican senators--visited Albany today to try to persuade a handful of undecided Republican senators to vote 'yes' on the historic measure. Bloomberg has publicly threatened to stop funding any Republican who doesn't vote for gay marriage.

Take note, Republicans. That is how to be genuinely awesome. ♥

This is my state and I'm very happy that we do actually have a few Republicans who buck the stereotype. ♥

Given the recent scandal to come out of New York, this is good news indeed, if, in my mind a bit like looking through a funhouse mirror.

Also, I adore your icon.
