DiNapoli Uses Our States Pension To Bully Companies To Accept Toevah "Marriage"

Thomas Dinapoli is the one with out the hat

ALBANY — State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli is using the power of the state’s $160 billion pension system to urge President Obama to order federal agencies and programs around the country to recognize gay "marriages" performed in New York.

DiNapoli’s idea is to adopt a “place of celebration” standard in federal government, meaning gay "marriages" that take place in New York would be recognized even in states that do not permit them. It could be a big push in DiNapoli’s effort to get major companies that do business with the state-pension fund to adopt anti-"discrimination" measures when providing benefits for gay " couples".

The US Supreme Court last month struck down parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, a ruling that muddled the rights of gay "couples" married in New York who move to or work in states where gay "marriage" isn’t legal.

DiNapoli is the sole trustee of the state’s pension fund and has used it as leverage to persuade companies he invests in to bolster environmental protections, combat terrorism and disclose campaign donations. He argues recognizing gay "marriages" is just good business.

Oklahoma Senate Reaffirm Marriage Between A Man And A Woman

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A nonbinding resolution to reaffirm marriage as a union between a man and a woman and support the federal Defense of Marriage Act has been approved in the Oklahoma Senate.

The resolution sponsored by Norman Republican Sen. Rob Standridge was quickly adopted Tuesday on a voice vote. The House passed the resolution unanimously last week, but more than a dozen representatives walked out of the chamber instead of voting.
The bill does not have the force or effect of law. Its authors say it is meant to send a message to President Barack Obama and the U.S. Supreme Court, which recently heard arguments in two cases related to same-sex marriage rights.
