Shameful Action by Pennsylvania Senators


On May 5, 2006, a Pennsylvania Senate committee voted 18-8 to send Senate Bill 1250, which would place a measure on the ballot banning same-sex marriage, to the full Senate for a vote. Measure must now be approved in two consecutive legislative sessions for it to be placed on the ballot.

{From my perspective, not only is this flagrant discrimination, but is akin to putting our civil rights into a flag draped coffin and burying them.}

Good News Update !!
Although it took Senator Vince Fumo talking about slavery, calling his colleagues gay and saying he wanted to outlaw divorce, he succeeded in getting the anti-gay marriage amendment tabled. His last few months in office are going to be interesting. Who is going to be our ally when he is gone? Will we even have one?
