  • Whoa, a little extreme you guys? Don't worry I'm a lgbt equal rights advocate. First of all, Mr. Mayor isn't "forcing" Christians to accept this. Plus I highly doubt that gays would want to marry in your hateful church. C'mon people, all they want is equality in marriage and other rights; not that much to ask of, right?

  • @NavyBluePanda Piss off don't bother me with your nonsense, you're already ready to go because your shit is already packed, hahahahahaha

  • Respond to this video... Yes, it is absolutely my opinion, but an opinion based on facts. Facts that show an erosion of the culture through liberal ideology.

  • @TheOliveBlue You have no idea what you are talking about. STD rates have skyrocketed because of an over-sexualization of the culture, started by communists that infiltrated media and education to try and expand their warped views of the world. And now gay liberal groups are forcing kids to learn about sex, when it is NOT up to the government to do so. It's the liberal mentality that's the problem. STOP trying to force your warped view of the world on the rest of us.

  • Respond to this video... and now soldiers live in fear of being sued by a gay person who stared at their dick in the shower. You people are so idiotic, you are trying to change human nature!. Reality is reality. And the fact is, military morale is deteriorating with the abolishment of don't ask don't tell. Gays can do whatever they want in this culture-but they want more. They want to force children to learn how gays have sex, when the government has NO business in teaching that!

  • @NavyBluePanda Gays absolutely have equal rights. But when it comes to abusing children, and experimenting on them in their quest for "equality", I draw the line. If gay pride parades weren't filled with men in bondage outfits flaunting their sexuality, then maybe you would have more luck convincing people that you were normal. There are plenty of normal gay people who are conservative, don't feel they have to co-opt the institution of marriage, and are decent.

  • @TheOliveBlue when did I ever say gays shouldn't show affection? You libs are really retarded!

  • @TheOliveBlue And now they have gay magazines circulating around the military. Do you have any idea what that does to morale? Do you have any idea what the culture is like in the military and how important it is that soldiers feel comfortable with each other? Don't ask worked fine. But now, they can openly stare at another soldier's dick while in the shower, making that soldier feel so uncomfortable that they get punched in the face. And then the bastard brings in his lawyers and sues.

  • Respond to this video... And by the way, there is NOTHING that says separation of church and state in the constitution. In fact, the founding of this country was BASED in Christian principles. Liberalism tries to force society to adopt it's warped views on the world. in this case it's about the children. Liberals like to view themselves as progressing towards some kind of ideal utopia. While they experiment on society, children are their victims. Children need a mother and a father.

  • Respond to this video...So it absolutely affects me,AND my children and family. They also were not satisfied with civil unions; they demanded to adopt children. They demand that we teach their sexual perversion in schools. Now they are trying to redefine marriage. Soon it will be illegal to say anything negative about homosexual perversion.The whole effort is not about some kind of "privacy," but is explicitly directed at changing the society by force.

  • You totally missed my point. Gays already have equal rights, and I don't care what they do behind closed doors. You just don't get it. I like people, I don't care if they are gay, straight, black, brown, rich, poor, if they are likeable! Get over your leftist view point that everything is divided up into different little groups.The defense of marriage act is about keeping intact the last, and FIRST, thing that holds this society together: the nuclear family. Without that, civiilzation erodes.

  • @tigerhop i disagree about gays being married think about it ppl are allowed to belive on their religion and in the christian religion it says God does not aprove of gay marriage, yet the mayor forces christians to do something that's against their religious beliefs. Think about that.

  • fags live in shame even if they dont admit it

  • @VeteranConservative I'm not. I'm very much heterosexual. I do however know for a fact that your sexual orientation does not make you any less or any more of a person. Love is love. If you would look down on someone for something as pure as love, then that is truly one of the saddest things I've heard. People like you are the reason we have so much hate and suffering. Please learn to accept others for who they are. Love is never a bad thing, dear. You'll see that one day when you grow up.

  • @ZoeyKoKo Sure, love is love. And I'm not against homosexuals doing what they want to do in private. IT's a free country. But it doesn't mean IMPOSING their values on the rest of society. That's just not right.

  • @snakebite5000 This is how politicians work, sadly. They wait until the right time to use a cause as an opportunity to help themselves in whatever way possible. The silver lining is that New York passed this great, overdue law recognizing gays as equals.

  • AWWWWWWW, Kissy Kissy

  • can i live in NYC ?

  • Bless all these happy couples :)

  • Same sex marriage is like socialist economics, it produces nothing! They suffer from a psychological disorder, homosexuality is a disease, hopefully curable. If you can cure Alzheimer's disease you may be able to cure homosexuality.

    He's Proud at 0:16?

    Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

  • Gay ppl have better life

  • fuck bloomberg and fuck the gay community,i hope all of you die and burn fuck all of you.fucking cocksuckers.

  • @jfelix2122 ooh - potty mouth lol. You'd fuck gay people? You must be really really desperate for a shag. Do the world a favour - buy a dictionary and look up a different swear word; your dction's a little boring.

  • This Boycott is dedicated to crushing New York State economically, Boycott the State of New York by vowing not to spend your vacation dollars in that state. Governor Cuomo, New York Assembly and New York Senator, New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry, New York Office of Tourism. By not doing business within the state, or by not buying anything that comes from New York, until such a time that this law is overturned or ruled unconstitutional. Bible Study Space Network.

  • @BibleStudySpace1 hmmm...of all the states and all teh reasons you can think of to prove that you're a bigoted organisation, and you choose this one? Just wondering if jesus would be more concerned about this, or all the states that have companies that make weapons of mass destruction etc? The only thing worse than a bigot is a hypocrite. Congratulations.

  • its true ... jews are out to undermine western values.

  • @VeteranConservative They dont need your pitty, you're nothing to them. ha.

  • WHO EVER IS HOMOPHOBIC , DO ME A FAVOR, GET THE FUCK OVER IT ALREADY. ITS 2011, AND LESBIANS, GAYS, BISEXUALS AND TRANSGENDERED PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. So how about you homophobes pack up your bags and get going , no one needs to hear your negative opinions on the amazing men and woman who just so happen to be a bit different. Stop hating. Now im done, goodbyee haters :) GO GAYS, i love you! Dont let negative people bring you down, keep fighting for what you deserve! GO Bloomberg:D

  • That was a good speech for a good cause!

  • @VeteranConservative You're a very, very sad man and the pity I feel for you is immeasurable. I know one day you will see the light, and realize love is love.

  • They also were not satisfied with civil unions; they demanded to adopt children. They demand that we teach their sexual perversion in schools. Now they are trying to redefine marriage, with a goal of showing homosex everywhere. Soon it will be illegal to say anything negative about homosexual perversion.

    The whole effort is not about some kind of "privacy," but is explicitly directed at changing the society by force.

  • First they tell us it was just their lifestyle, and to leave them alone. Then they told us that it was their sexual preference, and to accept it as equivalent to normal human behavior. Then we had to accept it in businesses, and people afraid to speak against perversion for fear of losing their jobs. Then in military by use of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell compromise.

  • @tigerhop It's not perversion dear, any more than it is "perverted" to talk about heterosexual coupling. Love it love - I hope one day you see that and join the ranks of the intelligent.

  • @ZoeyKoKo

    The government does NOT have a right to take my hard-earned taxdollars and fund a an organization like GLAAD, that goes around teaching elementary students how to put a condom on a banana and how gays have sex. It's because when teaching kids about homosex, it's only about sex, and not pro-creation, which is what marriage should be, in it's IDEAL form. In fact, teaching kids about sex has NO PLACE in our schools-that should be left up to the parents.

  • @tigerhop I'm sorry you feel that way, but one day you'll realize how wrong you are. Teaching kids about sex in school keeps them from making stupid mistakes - because not ALL parents want to teach their children about it. And love is love - whether heterosexual or homosexual. Sex is an act you do with the one you love, not just because you want to make children. It's a form of bonding.

    I'm sorry you cannot see that truth, dear. But I know one day you'll understand.

  • @ZoeyKoKo Since sex education has become a mandatory part of learning, more kids have had sex at earlier ages, gotten sexual diseases, had abortions, thus experiencing incredible emotional trauma as a result. IT is NOT up to the government to teach children about homosex, which is inherently sexual, and not about a higher ideal like marriage. It sexualizes children, when children should not be exposed to it in the first place. liberals have taken over culture and destroyed innocence.

  • Respond to this video... There has been multiple studies done showing that abstinence is the ONLY solution. Any other, like some ridiculous liberal utopic big government vision of teaching kids about sex has only resulted in MORE teen pregnancies, MORe STD's, MORE abortions, and more emotional trauma. Why are Christian abstinence programs shunned, while teaching 5th graders how to put on condoms lauded? It's a complete sexualization of the culture, which is what being gay is all about.

  • Respond to this video... And this battle is FAR from over. No way are most Americans going to go for destroying the Defense of Marriage Act. Obama is OUT.

  • Respond to this video... And hey, stop imposing your own psychological trauma on the rest of society by forcing everyone else to accept it. Marriage is between a man and a woman. You already have your civil unions, domestic partnerships, etc. Do you have to pollute the last sacred institutions Christians and many religious people hold dear, the institution of marriage, ALSO? Liberals have already destroyed the constitution and declared they have right to other people's money. STOP IT!

  • Today, a majority of Americans support equal marriage"---That would be a lie.

  • @kodog259 if it's not a choice, how about those black guys in prison? Were they born that way? Can we justify their elimination?

  • @150grnballistictip I'll turn a deaf ear to the blatant racism for a moment, and say committing crimes is a choice. Being biologically attracted to a specific gender is not. Please refrain from trying to find similarities in obviously unrelated topics, as it really makes you look uneducated.

  • @ZoeyKoKo Nothing racist about having a brother wanting to fuck you in the ass in a prison cell. I wasn't refering to the fact they are in prison which is a biological trait. I was refering to the sexual nature, I guess for a sodimite it may be a sexual fetish of some sort, but not forl people of the procreative veriety.

  • @150grnballistictip i'm sure you have 'an opinion' hidden in there somewhere, but it just doesn't come across very clearly.

  • @150grnballistictip It's racist to say everyone in prison is black. And you're really backing yourself into a corner, hon. Being biologically attracted to a specific gender (or just being blind to gender, which is a wonderful thing) is not something we can control. However, making bad decisions that end you in jail IS something you can control.

    Love is love. And sex is something you do with someone you love, not just for making babies. Gender has no role to play in that.

  • Absolutely fantastic speech. Why doesn't our President sound like that?

  • @crewmoss: because Obama is the President of all the US, including the Bible Belt, etc.

  • Thank you Mayor Bloomberg, an wonderful speech.

  • Great speech by Bloomberg. Definitly hits home with many people.

  • I can't believe he called himself a "Republican" at one time, he's an evil mayor. We actually now have "Republicans" who not only favor the Rich over the Poor, allow 30% APR on credit cards, give tax cuts to the rich, allow jobs to be shipped to communist countries, But now they endorse Same-sex marriage, Abortion, Mosques in NY, Legalization of Prostitution and Drugs (Ron Paul). These abominations will destroy this country.

  • @coolguy98 Hey I voted Ron Paul. Nice

  • this world is insane!!!! mentally ill!!! lets stop this now

  • the time of the roman catholic church has long sense passed what right do we have to say that people have no right to love who they love if America wants to really be called the land of freedom and be recognized as it what right to they have to take rights away from they gays i strongly believe that just like the rights for women this is something that should be recognized and should be welcomed in to the united states what is a truly free country that diminishes the rights of its people

  • SAD DAY

  • @CatholicFaithInfo: The United States Constitution is faith-neutral...that wondrous document gives you the right to spew your hateful, ignorant, ass-backwards views, but it DOES NOT give you the right to impose those views on other people.

  • what ever happened to american christian values? has the illumanati (devil) really taken over our nation to the point where ppl just disregard the bible and follow the ways of the non believers? my friends the end is near and the anti christ is here...he has caused God's ppl to thnk its ok to marry the same sex...cant yall see? this is happening before our eyes! people are falling away frm christ..we are so gullable smh..may God have mercy on all of us :(

  • @gogitta25 I'm fed up with people like you! So since your God does not make mistakes and the Bible is the whole truth with everything in it? Well then I ask you are you a good christian who does not do these various things the bible bans:

    Shaving(Leviticus 19:27)

    Cursing(Ephesians 5:4)

    Gossip(Leviticus 19:16)

    Football on Saturdays (Exodus 20:8)

    Eating Pork&Lobster ( Leviticus 11:7&10)

    Associating with woman who are having their periods (Leviticus 15.19-20)

  • Harvey Milk would be glad if he see this,and Anita Bryant get a pie in her face agin.

  • When you have a country that is on a downward spiral, I not so sure I would be signing my name to anything recognizing me as a deviate. Should the lack of food and money cause mobs to take to the streets. Those strait people cheering with you homos now, will turn on you like a rattlesnake.

  • When I see you pervs rotting from your disease I just give a little grin and keep going. Maybe Bono can bum enough money for all of you. You do realize when you collapse and stop breathing nobody will help you, seen it first hand.

  • Homosexuality has always been a choice, however you pervs expect the rest of normal people to pick up the tab for the consequences of your bad behavior! So go ahead act out your perversions, just don't hand me the bill. I'm not part of your village!

  • @150grnballistictip Being an asshole is also a choice,. idjit.

  • @150grnballistictip

    no its not a choice

  • @150grnballistictip

    two things;

    one: I've met more perverted people with a striaght sexuality, than I have people with a homosexual sexuality.

    two: You sound like you're from a tribe. Village. (: nice. Village of the twats?

  • Its true ... the Jews really are out to undermine Western culture by introducing this kind of degeneracy into law.

  • How is homophobe a legitimate term, not to mention you pervs won't call yourselves homosexual. Homophobe would mean fear of humans. If anybody would be a homophobe it would be a gerbil...

  • I thought all marriage was gay, did you mean homosexual deviant marriage? The next time you guys suffer a great tragedy don't whine to the rest of the country! Why don't you and California get together and screw each other. Start your own broke ass country.

  • is that will helps to increase the American birth?

  • Whats next? Aliens become citizens?

  • @MrAUFANATIC next's kick out homophobes from earth >>>>2>>>>aliens planets

  • This is truly a very sad day in American history. Our founding fathers would be ashamed if they were here today. Who gives you the right to tell the majority, who are against this ridiculous bill to legalize something like this? why don't you legalize multiple marriage then? where does it end? where will it stop. I can tell you new yorkers right now, that more than half of the Great State of California will not go visit your puny little state.

  • @203207ab You need to learn a little more about our Constitution. The US is not just a democracy, it is a constitutional democracy. That means our government is designed to express not only the will of the majority (democracy), but also protect the unalienable rights of minorities. That is an extremely important because it is the constitutional protections of minorities and the powerless that add civility, humanity, and decency to what could otherwise be a barbaric nation – democratic or not.

  • @203207ab Our founding fathers wanted a nation where all men are created equal. Never when they wrote the constitution did they write same-sex marriage is illegal.Our government is designed to protect the rights of the minority for those of the majority, because everyone knows the majority will given power with abuse it and opress. As someone who was born and is currently living in Califorina I hope our state will take after NY. There is no better sound then that of justice being served.

  • @203207ab well first of what speaks agains multiple mariage? (I would not do it since I couldnt share the person I love) but if all people know of each other and the wifes/husbands take a union between all of them and consent in it. Whats against it? I say it were it stops... Nowhere. The world changes constantly. We are moving. Everything is changing adapting. If something in nature stays still. Doesnt evolve or adapt. Than it will die. Thats the law of nature.

  • woohooo they just legalized it ... now i can say that IM PROUD TO BE FROM NY!

  • @Luv0rSin I'm proud too...

  • @chubararr yayyyy hehe :)

  • @Luv0rSin I would vote Bloomberg as the king of NYC if it was possible, can't imagine the city without him. When everything is f'ed he comes out like a real politician...a real leader...God bless him. I'm not even gay, married happily. I am just glad is such hard times someone can be happy...we need that, happiness, progress, love, joy, and little bit of hope. We are falling apart as world.

  • @chubararr i agree with everything u said .. the world is f*cked up as it is, no need to make it worse .. i was very happy when they legalized it .. at least that brought happiness to many couples and families

  • How come nobody on the pro-gay marriage side ever asks the simple question "So how the fuck does this affect you personally in anyway?"

    Seriously guys, it's not that hard of a question to ask. Hell, I just asked it right now.

  • The big Liar. Very corrupt politicians and homosexual special interest groups to force this abomination of marriage. It's horrible that they would align homosexuality with ethnicity. Hypocrits, pass POLYGAMY. You can corrupt man's laws but not God laws. If they were EQUALITY they could share genes with their partner.. They can never create life or have true union like heterosexuality.

  • @AVTPro

    so wanting the same quality of life for a group of people that everyone else has qualifies as a special interest?

    well its a good thing everyone has you to tell them what to do on the behalf of god, that everyone believes in.

    so marriage is all about having sex and reproducing? sure, its not about something so idiotic as love or anything like that. marriage is just a covert way to force people into having lot and lots of babies.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 The same quality of LIFE would be if Homosexuality created LIFE like Heterosexuality THEN IT WOULD BE THE SAME QUALITY OF LIFE, not giving them BENEFITS for being the SAME WHEN IT IS NOT THE SAME. That has nothing to do with God it's obvious common sense which the general public has been misguided into be blind to the OBVIOUS TRUTH. The act of sex which you define yourself are NOT EQUALITY. There is no LIFE in homosexaul acts when ALL LIFE in HETEROSEXUALTY.

  • @AVTPro

    so marriage is all about the act of having sex and producing life? that makes sense because everyone knows humans can only procreate when married.

    and if marriage is all about having kids then shouldnt people who cant have kids or couples who dont want kids be denied marriage.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 Defining homosexual marriage by love is hypocrisy. . If you can Define LOVE then you could Define God because God is love. You can define either.

    You define Marriage by Human LOVE? A man can be in LOVE with 3 women by you say they shouldn't be married. There are many people who been in loving adulterous relationship for years. There are underage girls in love with grown men. Marriage is no civil right. It has rules and restrictions. You have to be qualifed. Homosexual is not.

  • @AVTPro

    "Marriage is no civil right. It has rules and restrictions. You have to be qualifed." werent those some of the arguments against interracial marriage?

    thats the problem with people like you. you want to micro manage everyone elses sex lives. so what if other people are in adulterous relationships, so what if other people want to practice polygamy. does it affect your marriage, does it affect your life. you just want everyone else to follow what you think is "right".

  • @AceofDiamonds0 So you deny that marriage has physical restriction just like a drivers license has physical restriction? Age, vision, hearing, mental amplititude, knowing the rules of the road? Homosexuality is Just like when a nonqualified drunk driver gets on the road it effects others lives. But you say, let people be reckless with the rules and sanctity of marriage and ole thing will do. You deny that it's a fact there's qualification to marriage and I should not care about society. We done.

  • @AVTPro

    it used to be a qualification of marriage that you can only marry someone of your own race. so forgive me if i dont take the qualifications of marriage seriously.

    society changes and adapts, not to do so causes the society to become stangnant.

    if you want to talk about the sanctity of marriage we should be talking about newt gingrich, larry king, and john edwards. if marriage is sacred those guys must be jesus.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 You don't take serious AGE restriction of Mariage? A new low. What about underage? Again you like a UNJUST cause to an JUST cause. To liken a sexual activity to racial enslavement is a scrupulous low that homosexual interest group go to have way. Fine. Then with Racism, Blacks were called SUBHUMAN and only proven wrong because only those of the same species can procreate. Black having BABIES with Whites prove their human. So Gays not having babies with their mates says what

  • @AVTPro

    age and species should be the only restriction of marriage. since children and animals cannot give informed consent.

    i was not compairing the entier civil rights movement to gay marriage, i was compairing just interracial marriage and gay marriage. since both have so much in common; both were about marriage in equallity, both had similar arguments used against them.

    again you are under the impression that marriage is all about having children.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 So you went from "you don't take marriage restrictions seriously" to it should apply to only some". My time spent talking with you is over. I don't have time to go in circles .

    I leave you with this. The bible said the sodomites take to "strange flesh". That's biology 101. Man and Man are genetically incompatible Apple software on Windows OS. It just won't work. Man and women are made for each other and are compatible. Only one brings life. Common sense should tell you.

  • @AVTPro hm so if a woman is unable to carry out a child or if a man is impotent than these people dont have the same rights? Yeah that sounds reasonable. *sarcasm off*

  • @DallasGuy91 Marriage is for heterosexuality. Man and Woman. Homosexuality is never fertile or infertilite. It's just another from of masturbation. It can never create life. It's sin and sin is death. Homosexuality is only an activity of heteros. Homosexuals use the "infirmity" of Heterosuality to decieve. Homosexuality can not share gene with their mate, unless they create mutants/clones which is surely and abomination to mankind. Heterosexuality creates Life. Homosexuality is not equal to it.

  • @AVTPro Masturbation is one person. When Two persons having Sex than well its not anymore. And by the way what do you care what other people do to get each other off? What two (or more) consenting Adults do in there Sexlives is none of your business. And yes Two dudes cant get pregnant. Wow big mystery. Ever heard of adoption? You know. Same Sex couples are often better prepared to care for children. continue-

  • - Your an US Citizen? (just a guess?) if so then you love your freedom and all praised equallity by birth. Well get this beeing gay is nothing else as beeing black, asian, blonde, blue eyed, tall, short you name it. So actually your a racist. I get if you do not want your holy marriage be reintepreted. Ok, in germany there isnt SameSex marriage either. We have a union which gives them the same Tax, social and parent rights of the Marriage. Its Equal but annother institution.

  • @DallasGuy91 Calling homosexuality a "race' of people is a silly lie for people who can't think for themselves. There no such thing as a RACE that can't reproduce itself or sustain itself. Birth justified Blacks and Whites are the same human race because they share genes. Birth proves homosexuality is only and activity by hetersexuals. Or, that since homosexual can't share gene with their mate says it's inappropriate behavior for humanity. It's certainly not marriage material or strange flesh

  • @AVTPro so the only purpose of marriage is to breed? You don't need to be married to breed fella, look at your statistics. Marriage is a social construct - society has moved on, you have not. It must be really annoying, but that's the way it is :). You have no right to interfere in civil matters - simple as that.

  • @blueray1969 Society has moved on. The direction it's going I am glad I am not going with them. I remain faithful. ;-)

  • @AVTPro if you check yoru history, you will see that same sex marriage happened in teh past. But then, if you are a theist, you probably chose to ignore bits you don't agree with eh?

  • The big Liar. Very corrupt politicians and homosexual special interest groups to force this abomination of marriage. It's horrible that they would align homosexuality with ethnicity. Hypocrits, pass POLYGAMY. You can corrupt man's laws but not God laws.

  • You can thank Jews for this problem (Bloomberg). Homosexuality needs to be categorized as a mental illness. There is nothing sane about having sex with someone who has the same sex organs. Homosexuals have tried everything to try to justify their sick behavior. They have even tried to say that animals are homosexuals -- comparing their lifestyles to animals, which may be a correct comparison. We also have this problem of homosexuals raping children, thus creating new generations of homosexuals.

  • Very sad how liberalism is destroying our once great country...very sad.

  • Marriage is a religious ceremony defined as holy matrimony between a man and woman. The Constitution says that the church and state should be separate. So they shouldn't try to control religions and impose new rules. 

  • @coolcatbyotch

    but, wanting to deny homosexuals the right to marry based on religion, which basicly is the only argument, is in violation of seperation of church and state as well.

  • "God says 'No'!" chanted one side, as pro-gay marriage advocates, led by their own clergy, intoned, "God is love!" I say, God doesn’t say no, God doesn’t say yes, and God definitely is not love, God is not. Only us.

  • What is going on in NY is very troubling. Homosexuals are doing in liberal state legislatures and liberal courts what they cannot do at the ballot box. Obama is saying DOMA is not constitutional. If he succeeds then the Full Faith and Credit clause of the US Constitution will require that southern states recognize these sick relationships as equal to normal marriage. They say putting your penis in someones butt is normal. We say it is sinful and abnormal. This is a moral issue. Stop it now!

  • How do fucking stop homo OH MY GOSH first we have to change how STUPID PPL think

  • Help Bruian Brown of NOM end gay marriage!

  •  Inever see other mayor in new york city talking in this way with that clear speechi really respect bloomber for having the courage to face the public and touch this very sensitive topic. this is a very fair men.

  • 今日、内閣不信任案が提出されるらしいけど菅直人が辞任するまで­安心出来ない。韓国人のパチンコ屋から献金を受けたりするよう­な韓国の血をひくな男が総理になって日本の神は怒り狂っている。­菅直人が総理になって災い続き

    s

  • This is an awesome speech. I hope it touches the hearts of all New Yorkers. Being a New York Italian, it would make me very proud of my home state to see marriage legalized for gay couples. Thank you Mayor Bloomberg!

  • What a wonderful call to action! If Hilary steps down next term, I wonder if Bloomberg would consider running on Obama's ticket?

  • @GLAMHAPPY She isn't the Vice President. That would be Joe Biden.

  • アメリカはカラスみたい。死体から利益を得る

  • #1 person who fought to block gay marriage? No. The legal counsel of his office - exactly like that of Spitzer's and any other legally-aware leader in the executive branch of New York government - interpreted the existing State law that same-sex marriage was illegal, and performed their constitutionally required duty to execute the law. Show me a quote where Bloomberg personally opposes gay marriage. He doesn't and hasn't. And he's been on record supporting legal change for years now.

  • It's a shame that this speech wasn't spoken by our president.

  • If you have a problem with Bloomberg's apparent flip-flopping on the issue and not giving an explanation why, then perhaps consider just listening to the words of this speech and how they affect you. Do you agree or disagree with the message? It's a beautiful speech, and it should have been spoken by our President. But it doesn't matter who wrote it or who spoke it. It's passionate, intelligent, and eloquently outlines many Americans recent change of opinion on the subject.

  • @lucadicorso We're not talking FLIP-FLOP! He LITERALLY BLOCKED GAY MARRIAGE FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS! IOWA got the right to gay marriage BEFORE NYC!?!?! ONE man is to blame: Bloomberg. I just don't want any of you to be fooled by this opportunist. He's not sincere but we'll take what we can get.

  • BLOOMBERG SPENT OVER $10 MILLION TAXDOLLARS IN 2006 TO BLOCK A JUDGE's ORDER LEGALIZING GAY MARRIAGE IN NYC. Watch them remove this comment like neo-nazis do.

  • I Think what makes this speech so moving is that you can tell he really means it. There are too many politicians these days fighting causes they dont believe in for votes and political leverage rather than the people, its refreshing and reassuring to see someone so politically powerful genuinely fighting for what he believes in. Go NYC!

  • @limeindecoconut @IntubateU Bloomberg was the #1 opponent of gay marriage in america and is on record many times saying he opposed gay marriage. Only RECENTLY, when he saw it was inevitable, did he switch to trying to be on the right side of history. He is STILL the #1 funder of REPUBLICANS who have blocked gay marriage! He's a FRAUD. Wake up.

  • yes. all people equal. simple. only those who want to pretend they're better would ever say otherwise and the only reason they do that, is because they fear they are really not special so they fight and hate to keep a false believe that they are better than others but they are not, they are the same as every other soul on this planet.

  • As long as you are happy and are you no one else i see nothing wrong with Homosexuality and im so happy people are now allowing Gay marriage, its feels almost like the end of a primitiveness and dark age period in time as finally we have the choice to believe in the bible or not. Many of the bible's influences and so called sins have harmed many, e.g. The witch trials and being biased against same sex couplings it is not sinful to love the same gender and im glad people are more accepting nowday

  • I'm Proud to be a New Yorker. BUT New York state senator Martin Golden introduced a bill Thursday that would invalidate same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions, which have been recognized since 2008.Senator Golden, a Republican from Brooklyn, introduced the bill with co-sponsors senator Thomas Libous, who is the deputy Republican majority leader, and senator Ruben Diaz, Sr., a Democrat and outspoken gay rights foe. These NY Senators can suck it.

  • Go NY Go!!!

  • @Teitenair2 Bloomberg was the #1 opponent of gay marriage in america and is on record many times saying he opposed gay marriage. Only RECENTLY, when he saw it was inevitable, did he switch to trying to be on the right side of history. He is STILL the #1 funder of REPUBLICANS who have blocked gay marriage! He's a FRAUD. Wake up.

  • @TouchingYou he was a democrat for a long time, then a republican for most of the 2000s, now an independent. obviously he changes his mind. I'll take his support. You need to understand the difference between you supporting him, and him supporting you. It doesn't have to be mutual.

  • @DrNHand1994 NO. this is like Hitler, realizing he's about to be grabbed by the Russians in Berlin at the last minutes of WW2 and giving a speech about how he just found out there was a holocaust and anti-semitism and is saving us from Nazi Germany. Bloomberg was LITERALLY THE #1 OPPONENT OF GAY MARRIAGE IN AMERICA! No one did more to hinder it. I just want everyone to know he's lying. But yeah, I'd rather have him saying he supports it than not.

  • @TouchingYou THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING. Presidential candidates do stuff like this all the time. Some nut bag with a little political power is gonna endorse whoever the 2012 presidential nominee is and he/she will not recognize that endorsement.

    with Bloomberg, we can be happy he is saying it, but se don't have to recognize that we want him to endorse it.

  • @DrNHand1994 No... I'm not saying he's a liar who is flip-flopping. I'm saying HE'S THE #1 PERSON WHO FOUGHT TO BLOCK GAY MARRIAGE FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS. Big difference.

  • @TouchingYou Well then how great is it that he's changed his mind

  • @DrNHand1994 HE DIDN'T CHANGE HIS MIND. He changed his RHETORIC. BIG DIFFERENCE.

  • @DrNHand1994 Also, he was NEVER a democrat. That was another of his endless PR SCAMS. He's always been a hardcore Republican. But he lived and partied in NYC -- a DEM town -- and so he was always "registered" as a DEM. FOR APPEARANCES ONLY. The man cares about false images more than any other person I've ever seen in history. And he's the FAKEST person in history.

  • hes a billionaire and mayor of the most powerful cities in the world.

  • Wow! I wanna live in NYC!

  • Way to go!

  • That was a very impressive speech! Strong! With conviction! And good points made as to the history of many things becoming equal in the USA. I praise you for your courage to stand out! I agree with the prior post, THIS IS S CIVIL ISSUE NOT A RELIGIOUS ISSUE.

  • 53% of America believes marriage should be an equal right for both heterozexual and homosexual couples. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN. History will not remember those who opposed equal marriage any more kindly than it does those who supported segregation. Peace out bigots. Preach it Bloomberg!!

  • So, which Bloomberg do we believe? This one?

    Or the one who blocked gay marriage in NYC? The one who quoted Leviticus as a reason to deny equal marriage to gay couples? The one who argued in court that banning gay couples from marriage was constitutional ... and won? The one who vetoed (and then blocked the override of his veto) domestic partner benefits for gay couples in NYC?

    It's a lot of "do as I say, not as I do". His speech doesn't say why.

    Coward.

  • Preach!

  • Awesome speech. I'm not from NYC, but if I go to USA, this makes me want to go there. Well said!

  • others. Or start a movement to found your own country, where you can be free and force others not to be. Good luck with that the first time someone takes power who does not agree with your interpretation of your religion!

  • becomes, "Whose God? Whose religion rules?" And that is when we, as Americans, realize that we have reached a secular, civil issue. Where the morality of one religion or opinion would trample on the rights of a group of people, you have to step back and say, this is the price I pay as an American, to be free to worship as I wish. The price of knowing that others are equally free not to do so. Man up, and pay the price of your freedom with dignity and respect for
