Bigotry marches on

As expected, the House passed the gay marriage ban today. The good news: the vote wasn't nearly as lopsided as last year, probably due to the DFL pickups. But nevertheless, it passed. For the recorded vote, go here.

Hope now lies in the Senate for defeating this abomination.

Dean Johnson pulled a lot of parliamentary tricks out of the bag last year to keep it from coming to a vote. All it takes is three DFLers to pass the thing. Off the top of my head, I can think of Tom Bakk and Steve Murphy. Probably Saxhaug too. Hell, Johnson himself is from a conservative rural district.

It's not quite true that the Senate is the last hope. There are still the citizens to appeal to in 2006. It's sad that nobody's idealistic enough to think there's a chance it could be shot down by the voting public.

Yeah, yeah, there's a difference between idealism and rose-colored glasses...
