Gay Marriage Goes Bi

Coastal, that is. The Mayor of New Paltz, NY has just announced he'll begin performing same-sex marriages on Friday.

"We as a society have no right to discriminate in marriage any more than we have the right to discriminate when someone votes or when someone wants to hold office," (New Paltz Mayor Jason) West told the AP. "The people who would forbid gays from marrying in this country are those who would have made Rosa Parks sit in the back of the bus."

A revolution led by mayors. Who would have thought?
