thistlechaserNever let it be said that I don't give credit where credit is due. You go, Mr. Republican! Three cheers for you!
Republican New York State Senator Roy McDonald is one of the few Republicans who's said he will vote to legalize gay marriage in New York.
"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."
McDonald's support for the gay marriage bill leaves it only one vote short of having enough support to be made into law.
C'mon, California! So many other states can do it, we're California! How can we not be in the forefront on this?
