So much for the sanctity of marriage.

New York's second-string Governor David Paterson has instructed state agencies to recognize out-of-state homosexual marriages, which have now been established by judicial fiat in California.

In the short term, this is another step toward establishing homosexuality as officially "normal." Look forward to men kissing on prime time television and ever more homosexual adoption.

In the long term, the door has been opened to other perversions of marriage, such as marrying animals (who after all are persons too) and inanimate objects.

The end result is that marriage, the most fundamental institution in a healthy society, is reduced to a tasteless joke. Brick by brick, moonbats are dismantling civilization.
