I am very proud of my home state....past due for sure,but we are now the most populous state to recognize the rights of all to enjoy the state of marriage.
Of course my whimsical side is telling me that gay and lesbian couples now have the right to be as miserable as everyone else

And it happened legislatively, so none of this "trampling the will of the people" BS from across the aisle.

Andy has declared he will sign it...and seems to pay no heed to the threats of Archbishop Dolan who is of the opinion that Andy should be barred from receiving holy communion due to his divorces....so it is not like they are bosom buddies anyway.

True....but being denied communion in his church is actually probably something he would like to avoid.He is from a Italian Catholic family....and they tend to take that shit seriously,even if he himself does not care...I'm sure mama Coumo would be upset....and the voters might just notice that he had been officially sanctioned by his church.
I mean who needs that headache,certainly not a politician.

From a Catholic religious site - damn deep thingies - at least this one is readable :

About receiving Communion if divoriced - -

The real question is not are you divorced, but are you remarried civilly or in some other way outside the Church? If you are divorced and remarried, then you may be comitting mortal sin (adultery) and thus should not receive. ... If you have a civil divorce and are chaste and not in a state of sin in any other way, you can and should receive. But it is what you do after the divorce that is the question.

ETA: Personal experience - I married an RC woman - divoriced after 18 months, 6 days, and 9 hours, but who's counting? She re-married on the bounce. Not sure ink was dry, but I can tell you he was DAMN cute!

Then about 10 years later, she writes me asking for an annulment - seems her kids are asking "Mom, why don't you take Communion?" So, I filled out paper-work, swearing that "I entered into the marriage without good faith." She paid about $300 and paperwork was buried in some file in Alaska where she and cutie had moved. Air Force man, being promoted from Sgt. to Lt. if he'd agree to serve up there.

ETA: Did I say he was CUTE?

I covered that one hours ago in the other gay marriage thread....I think we both owe an apology to George Carlin(?) for borrowing his intellectual property.
