NEW YORK, NY (Catholic League) - Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the vote by the New York State Senate rejecting a bill to legalize same-sex marriage (the vote was 38-24):
"The left-wing Huffington Post had a headline earlier today that was classic. It read, "START SPREADING THE NEWS: New York Debating Historic Gay Marriage Measure, Vote to be Razor Thin."
"Now that those who sought to reinvent the institution of marriage got clobbered, the Catholic League will be only too happy to START SPREADING THE NEWS.
"Kudos to New York State Senator Reuben Diaz and all the other good men and women who resisted this illegitimate push to treat marriage and the family as if they were merely items on a moral smorgasbord of lifestyle choices."
