Republican New York State Senator Roy McDonald voted to support legalzing gay marriage in New York despite pressure from his colleages, among others. His courage to stand up for what he believes in, in this age of compromise and political pandering, is so admirable and awesome it gives me goosebumps.
Under pressure from the Conservative Party, anti-gay marriage groups, and religious leaders, McDonald rose to the occasion and gave this remarkable quote:
"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing," McDonald, 64, told reporters.
"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing.
"I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this."
Prior to this, I had never heard of Senator McDonald but if this show of integrity is any example of the kind of man he is, New York is lucky to have him in public office. This action shows every sign of a leader who truly cares for the rights of human beings regardless of our differences. In my book, this kind of courage makes him a hero. Bravo Senator McDonald!
