You know, just once, I'd like to see this conversation (and many others) on this board not break down into "those of us who moved here in the last 10 years are so much more enlightened and liberal than those Old Timey Astorians." I know this might be shocking, but it is possible to be a fifth generation resident of the neighborhood and support gay marriage. I am really sick of people who have lived here for all of five minutes telling me what kind of person I am, just because they have some image in their heads of what a person native to Astoria is like (as opposed to what "Astorians" are like). We don't need a new senator because Onorato is out of touch with the "changing demographics" of the neighborhood-- we need a new senator because Onorato is out of touch, period.
