It's obviously a political thread.

I will happily cheer New York for their success though. I hope more states continue to follow.

Razorsharp, that's nonsense.  Being thankful because "X" event happened isn't inherently political, simply because the event happened because of a legislative vote.  It would only have become "political" if someone had started to talk about politics, ir had started a fight.  And I thought that at least one moderator actually posted on it.

What a disgrace.  I'm so furious.  I might as well just have posted something like "screw you, bigots; I'm so glad to see you lose, and not be able to do *anything* about it, no matter how many fits you throw, because New York isn't California, and understands what a "republic" is, and it won't be possible to get a referendum on the ballot."  Now, *that* would have been a political thread!

Maybe I should start reporting every post that discusses or celebrates an opposite-sex marriage.  If one kind of discussion is political, than so is the other, by negative implication. 

Whoever made this decision should be ashamed of him or herself.

Why not a "Thank-you New York" thread here?

They deleted it because it was clearly political. How do I know this? When someone specifically says this thread is not political you can bet it is political.

Let's do some analysis. A political vote was had on a political issue and DonnaL created a thread to thank those who supported her political view. If it walks like a political duck, quacks like a political duck, then maybe it is a political duck (or maybe a happily married gay duck).

Was it because Donna was the one who started it? It was a perfectly civil thread. In fact, most people were celebratory over the fact that New York has passed a gay marriage rights law. There are active threads in the cafe that are much more contentious and and potentially politically fraught than the Thank You New York thread. I just tried to post a question, and received a "you do not have permission to post on this page" notice. That was when I noticed that the thread itself has disappeared in a puff of smoke. I don't get it. I just don't get it....
