Diaz Protest Against Marriage Equality Angers Lesbian Granddaughter




In another chapter in the complex and almost bizzare public life of State Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr., has his lesbian granddaugther holding a counter-protest to his protest against marriage equality. Senator Diaz led a march down the Grand Concourse towards the Courthouse at 161st st. in oppostion to the movement to pass marriage equality in New York. Celeste Katz of the Daily News reports that "his granddaughter, Erica Diaz, a former Marine who said she was ousted under the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, said her grandfather has met Torres, whom she hopes to one day marry. Despite their differences, she said she'd like her grandfather to attend the wedding."

    I feel sorry for the granddaughter having a dogmatic, holier-than-thou grandfather like Ruben Diaz Sr.

    Diaz Senior needs to lighten up and stop being such a prick.

    This "patán" comes from Bayamón in Puerto Rico... the island’s second most populous city.

    So is everyone from Bayamon as intolerant as Senator Diaz?

    Diaz is not the big shot on this issue in Albany. Accordiung to the New York Times, Michael R. Long, the chairman of the Conservative Party in New York State, has emerged as the single most immovable opponent of the legalization of same-sex marriage.

    Mayor Bloomberg, who has been pushing for gay marriage, now threatens to stop funding anti-gay GOP lawmakers. And Governor Cuomo says that he is doing all he can in the fight for gay marriage rights in NY. I'm glad that both the mayor and the governor are on the right side of history in this battle.

    There is a sea change in attitudes toward same-sex marriage.

    A new Gallup poll released this past Friday reports that for the first time ever, a majority of Americans favor legalizing same-sex marriage. FIFTY-THREE PERCENT (53%) of Americans now believe same-sex marriage should be recognized by the law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages.

    Here is the link to the poll results:

    Lets get rid of al the fancy excuses and say it the way it is: By opposing gay marriage, NY Republicans are supporting bigotry and not equality.

    Gov. Cuomo released a video message today in which he's urging New Yorkers to join him in advocating for the legalization of same-sex marriage.
