To the Editor:
Like all gay married citizens, I was crushed to read that yet another “liberal” state has fallen prey to religious dogma and heterosexism. I am particularly disappointed because New York was on our short list of places to move to when my husband soon retires.
I was willing to leave our warm tropical home for a warm, “welcoming” state like yours. Apparently, I was wrong: New York is as cold as ever.

Note from KBJ: The letter writer imputes bad motives to those with whom he disagrees, as though there couldn't possibly be rational grounds for limiting marriage to heterosexual couples. Are you surprised that proponents of homosexual "marriage" are getting nowhere? They insult the very people they need to persuade!
