Here’s one story you won’t find in the main stream media. Tens of thousands of Christians and some Jewish folk marched in support of traditional marriage and against same-sex marriage in New York City on Sunday.
The demonstrators targeted Governor David A. Paterson’s New York City office. Gov. Paterson is supporting legislation to bring same-sex marriage to the state of New York. The bill has already past the state Assembly and is now before the state Senate.
There was a real variety of folk represented among the marchers. According to Rev. Jason McGuire, of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms:
“It’s not just Republicans or Democrats, It’s Latinos, Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, Whites — we’re all coming together on the traditional definition of marriage. It’s exciting to see that kind of unity on this issue.”
Response: This is good news. Christians are finally getting together and rising up in protest. This is long over due and hopefully not to late.
Meanwhile in the state of Maine, Christians are trying to overturn same-sex marriage by getting a measure on the ballot for the people to vote on similar to California’s Prop 8. Maybe the Northeast isn’t lost cause for traditional marriage after all! *Top
