Usually reliable Irish-American homophobes are silent for the moment.
Somehow we missed it last week when an upstate rabbi blamed Hurricane Sandy on all the sodomites down state. The rainbow after the storm was a sign!

Fleet Week hits New York this month. And between the end of DADT and marriage equality, the time is ripe for a very homo shore leave.
It has been two years since New York had a big political wedding to fuss over (Chelsea+Marc4Eva) so thank goodness for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, eh?
With Maryland becoming the eighth state to legalize same-sex marriage last week, the Pope once again condemned gay nuptials, warning of "the powerful political and cultural currents seeking to alter the legal definition of marriage."

Game on, Chris Christie! Today the New Jersey Assembly joined with the State Senate and passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage in a vote of 41 to 33.
Marriage equality moved another inch forward in the Garden State today.
