Assemblyman Dov Hikind Debates Gay Marriage Bill - May 12, 2009

[rastashlomo]

"I don't have a choice," I wonder how many Nazi soldiers used that rationalization. Within the Jewish community, there are many who would deny rights to others on practical grounds, while complaining endlessly about antisemitism. Luckily for reform Jewry, this orthodox D-R does not represent the whole community. This man has low moral character, as supporting Bob Turner showed. Hikind is very nihilistic, especially seen in throwing Sen. Gillibrand under the bus.

[Il00OOll]

What a disgusting scumbag. Filthy homophobe. He keeps trying to destroy gay families and hurt the children of gay families by being against same-sex marriage. Truly, a filthy lowlife

[vital427]

Hah! He's not for denying human rights. This is the same bigot who thinks only Jewish suffering in Holocaust should be commemorated. If the people who suffered were gays, somehow they don't deserve the memorial. Bigot. The bigger shame is that he is hiding his bigotry behind Torah.

[casperado666]

all he says is complete bullshit. religious reasons to deny legislation? wtf comes next? witch hunting? gay burnings? i say punch this fucker in the face.

fuck his whole whiny "my parents went to auschwitz" story. Well, bastard, my grandparents survived the Jewish-made Holodomor, where Ukrainian children got eaten because of the kike Kaganovich and local kike executives, that's why i don't believe your kind anymore.

[casperado666]

typical bigot kike

[gaydanzig]

he's like a rumkowski.

nobody would roll over and surrender to the nazis faster than hikind and his ilk. sixty years ago, he would be currying favor with the gestapo and handing his own people over to the SS.

PS give him 30 seconds and he'll always mention how he's the child of holocaust survivors.

[Skulander1]

And you know, if your only guide is the Torah (or the Bible, or any single one book), I feel sorry for you. I really do. I have logic, science, facts on my side. You?

[Skulander1]

So you know, when I hear this speech, I feel it's extremely disquieting about the extent in which we have let "God" rule our entire lives, discriminating and being prejudiced against certain groups of people. And it's not "only" about marriage: if only that were the case. It's about EVERY single right that THOSE SAME PEOPLE also deny to gays and lesbians. It's shameful. It's disgusting, and the LGBT should be absolutely outraged when hearing that sort of speech.

[Skulander1]

And just on a final note: your Jewish synagogue can define marriage the way it wants. Fine by me. I'm not Jewish (nor Christian or Muslim, for that matter). I have no say in that. But you are talking about a SECULAR SOCIETY and a SECULAR INSTITUTION. What part of this don't you get? Not everyone goes by the Bible and the Torah.

[casperado666]

@Skulander1 you are 100% right

[Skulander1]

And hang on partner. Do you know WHO exactly is suing for obtaining the right of polygamy in Canada? The MORMONS. Yes. The very ones, out of state, who pumped so much money into denying Californians the right to marry. The same unconstitutional Prop 8. So it's very convenient to see gays and lesbians as scapegoats, but it ain't gonna work with me. Nor with any non-prejudiced individual. And gay marriage is much, much more about us simply being "happy" and you know this very well.

[Skulander1]

LOL! You're for human rights? Oh come on. Give us all a break. You are for bigotry and denial of rights for a minority of people who you'd like to see as 2nd rate citizens. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't deny marriage to gay and lesbians without any single valid reasons, and not say you are not discriminating.

[newyorkequality]

That right, God does not change his mind. Politicians like Obama, Biden and Clinton do and speak from both sides of their mouth, may be even 3 sides or more.

[iamnotsurely]

Thank you Dov Hikind for standing up for your principals and for the right to religious freedom.

[Musicofthissphere]

And I think his use of the Holocaust is OUT-F**KING-rageous. I mean how dare he assume that he knows all about every kind of hate first hand. he lives in Brooklyn, where there are many many Jews: he is NOT a minority in his community. He is NOT a concentration camp survivor. Shame on him for his rank use of something as horrible as the Holocaust to deny people other rights: what a sick, evil individual this man is

[Musicofthissphere]

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and I am not gay and I think Dov Hiking is a positively awful human being. You should have heard him 10-15 years ago on this same issue: the man was a totally unethical disgraceful piece of 'dreck.'

[Eragon1880]

THat's just so immoral! If the world will be full of gay marriges that would be chaos! By the way Hikind's brother and nephew davens in my synagogue.

[jerrydoubleu]

Hate, in any form, no matter how "polite" breads hate. Homophobic Jews should not be surprised at the strong responses.

[Musicofthissphere]

I dislike Dov Hikind, but your comments are hateful, Jerry. Laughing at ashtray jokes make you far worse that this two face, awful nasty politician

[jerrydoubleu]

There r many homophobic Jews.

[KeepitRealRealy]

Society should not be enabling anything that the gays do or want.

[KeepitRealRealy]

Your are a stupid child.

[KeepitRealRealy]

Thank you Mr. Hikind for standing up for families in NY.

It's time to rid our state of the "PRIDE" agenda!

[parakeethands]

i can't believe we have sunk so low in the cesspool that we have actually come to the day where we are actually debating on homosexual unions. so very sad. it's only a matter of time before the very last crumbling remains of our culture/civilization are permanently blown away. and people cannot see it, just read about the fall of the Roman empire. on the heels of the decline and final fall of any empire/civilization has been a sexual revolution. look at our own history and wake up, repent.

[conor143]

I would rather go have hot sweaty sex:)

[KrasnayaArmada]

he has a point, i don't agree of course but i think its sad how he has to dodge what hes trying to say he has to use like a million cloaking words and suggestion to explain what he wants, but why exactly cant the church refuse? they can go marry somewhere else so i don't really get him.

[Gaystella100]

Gays died with jews as the facsists came while quoting the bible.U r a bigot and u should own that fact,from a gay point of view u r the same as a NAZI.

[choppermfg]

You are the racist. if he as a defferent view that does not make him a Nazi.

[jwiska]

well it is a separation between church and state. you cannot force church's to marry gays if they dont want to.  so a church can be sued for not complying with the government? have you ready that supposed bill in the newyork senate?

[Gaystella100]

Gays died with the jews.fascists come for both groups while they quoted the bible.u r a bigot own it.

[yyf147258]

Search "Happy Rob Buy" by google ,and you will find amazing.

[jerrydoubleu]

HOw many homophobic jews can fit into a volkswagon? 2 in the front seat, 2 in the back seat, 20 in the ashtray.

[y2knoproblem]

LOL

[Musicofthissphere]

You're a hateful asshole, far worse than Hikind, another hateful asshole

[pkiverson]

I wish this man would seriously consider what his religion has to say about doing unto others as you would have done unto you. Would he like it if an elected Muslim official stood up and said that his religion would not support a woman leaving the house with her head uncovered, and voted to pass legislation to prohibit it? No. No one likes it when another religion is imposed on them. Separation of church and state, for the love of God.

[anthonyhelms15]

thats exactly why muslims arent in office!!!

[tpetdoctor]

At least he was mostly civil. Still, sad that he's a douche bag.

[cg2337]

Thank God I'm Italian/Canadian. We have removed religion from politics and have evolved & moved on to higher spiritual levels. I feel sorry for Americans ... blinded by "fake" puritan Americans and still beeing brainwashed by arcaic religions.

[naliuj]

well you have got to take a look at our science minister Gary Goodyear.

[Imran11432]

What an Ass. Please let us all support Gay Marriage. We must do it now. We must.

[nicksum29]

Isn't it amazing that a Jew is talking about gay people in exactly the same way Nazis spoke about "the filthy Jews". Very ugly.

[fanagot]

If this assemblyman wants to bring his sacred book to the floor, shine a light on him. According to his religion homosexuals should be put to death. Let the whole world know about the dangers homosexual people are suffering under his watch.

[yitzchokmoshe]

jerrydoubleu!

I don't know if you notice, but you lost the war.

Crawl back to your hole.

[jerrydoubleu]

I don't hate or dislike Jews. I love them. I just hate the sin. God bless all the Jews who approve of gay marriage. The rest I don't hate except in kind.
