A Thanksgiving Poem (Update)

Update: The NY state senate has rejected the same-sex marriage bill. Although NY state does recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, you still cannot have one performed in NY.

A Thanksgiving Poem in Support of All of New York's Families

The State Senate has agreed to vote on the same-sex marriage bill before the year is through.
Let's make sure they keep their promise.
Happy Thanksgiving from the NYCLU!


As New York's turkey families gather 'round tables this year,
Some will be missing their holiday cheer.
Yes, they'll be thankful for much, it's a fact,
But the New York State Senate—it refuses to act
To let turkey families of the same-sex feather
Just sign a paper saying, "We gobble together."

Same-sex turkey families only want basic rights,
But New York's turkey senators would rather pick fights
Over selfish fowl coups and political squabble,
Ignoring the masses: "Treat us fair! Gobble! Gobble!"

So as you dig into your Thanksgiving plate,
Send a quick little note to the reps of our state.
Tell them, all turkey families deserve respect—yours and mine,
And to vote yes on marriage in 2009.

By this time next year, we'll be thankful of
The rights of all turkeys
To marry the ones they love.

Thanks for taking action to support New York's families...
And please forward this to your friends!

This was taken from an email I received from the NYCLU. I hope you enjoyed it, Happy Thanksgiving!
