Boo! Hiss! - Part 2

///

Wow, I was in a really good mood coming into my office this morning, and the news just keeps getting more grim.

From the NY Times:

"The New York Court of Appeals ruled this morning that the state Constitution does not guarantee a right to marriage for same-sex couples, and that state lawmakers, not the courts, are better suited to consider the issue.

In a 4-2 decision that has been eagerly awaited by both sides in the gay marriage debate, the court, the highest in the state's judiciary system, concluded that the legislature could have "a rational basis" for limiting marriage to heterosexual couples, in large part because of their ability to bear children.

The court did not rule that the state should not or could not allow gay marriages, only that the state constitution did not require that it allow them."
