Good news for Pennsylvania's lavender set. The state's Senate yesterday tabled a bill that would have banned gay marriage:
The state Senate this evening voted to table a bill that would have amended the state constitution to ban gay marriage.The main sponsor, Sen. Michael Brubaker, R-Lancaster, said it had become clear to him that the bill would not pass in the House and he therefore saw no point to a lengthy debate in the Senate.
The bill might have passed the Senate, which is controlled by Republicans 29-21.
Up to 14 amendments were planned on the bill, which would have meant a long night.
Cheeky politician Vincent Fumo's no doubt pleased – he tacked on one of those fourteen amendments: a ban on divorce.

Maybe it will return Queerunity, but I see it as a good thing. Hopefully the Rel Rt is FINALLY running out of steam. The Evangelicals issued some kind of statement recently that politics have intruded too much. Nice to see they FINALLY noticed.
GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!

I'm not holding my breath. Its only tabled because the House Democrats won't allow it to go anywhere. However, Democrats hold the slimmest of margins; 102 to 101. This could all be back next year, and with a vengeance. Never underestimate the power of rural Pennsylvanians; they may culturally mimic Alabama, but they're no dummies and they're certainly long-suffering for their pet causes.
traditional marriage — one man, one woman, for life. keep the no divorce amendment as part of the bill and see what the right wingers do.
I think that I may be sending Sen. Fumo a nice thank-you card. That was some quick thinking.
