The California Senate has approved a plan to replace "man and woman" in state references to marriage with "two persons," establishing a same-sex marriage procedure in the state that just seven years ago voted to limit marriage to one man and one woman.The Governator will probably veto this once again, but that certainly never stops our intrepid legislature. We have an interesting bunch in Sacramento. You have the Queer Caucus including Mark Leno and Sheila Kuhl who spend their days trying to institute gay marriage in the state and homosexual education in our schools - all the way down to kindergarten. And then we have the Illegal Alien Caucus with members like "Single Bill" Gil Cedillo who has introduced a bill every year since the earth cooled to give illegal aliens driver licenses. Unfortunately, there are very few legislators who are actually looking to do what's best for the majority of Californians. They're all more interested in their little special interest groups.
The 22-15 vote came on homosexual Assemblyman Mark Leno's proposal to open marriage to any pair in the state, not just those couples made up of a man and a woman. All Republicans opposed AB43, while all but three Democratic senators supported it.
The bill now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for his signature or veto. He has given ambiguous signals about his support for the latest proposal, but earlier vetoed a similar proposal.
