Fair Warning!!!!

About a week ago the Pennsylvania House passed a version of the Anti-Gay "Marriage Protection Amendment". It doesn't take a rocket scientist (which means Santorum might get it) to figure out that I'm totally against this idea.

The Senate Judiciary committee passed a less stringent version of the same amendment, the result of which may derail the issue for this legislative year. Hooray if it does.

But I'm still watching to see who votes for this measure in the full Senate, assuming it comes to a vote). I gotta tell you folks, I'm not ordinarily in favor of this but I know there is at least one deeply closeted Senator in Pennsylvania and if he votes in favor of this amendment, EVEN in it's revised form, I'm gonna expose any self-loathing gay Senators and hold them accountable. Fair Warning!!!

I don't ordinarily go in for "outing" someone but when gay and lesbian politicians vote against their own people I wanna know why!

The fact that all but one member of the Judiciary Committee voted to move the revised version of the Amendment to the full Senate annoyed me because of the number of Democratic Senators that voted in favor.

I really wish the Democrats would grow some balls.
