Senator Greg Ball wants religious protections

Senator Greg Ball (R-NY), ok, you're hot, but stop bullshitting us about gay marriage and "religious protections". First of all, civil marriages are performed every day to straight people without a priest, imam or Xenu. There are no laws that require, like say, a rabbi to marry a couple who are not Jewish. No priest will marry a couple who are not Catholic. Nobody is forcing them. So what is different about gay people who want a civil marriage?

“We’re New Yorkers and after 61 years of togetherness, we feel we have a right to be married in New York.”

“They are still obviously so deeply in love after 61 years and yet after all those years of commitment, being there for one another through the ups and downs of life, they are still being denied the one thing they want most – the freedom to marry in New York. It is time to change that. After 61 years together, haven’t they waited long enough?”
