A landmark bill to legalize gay marriage passed the Assembly by a single vote Tuesday and now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has not said whether he will sign it.
The measure passed on a 41-to-35 votes, with no support from Republicans. The author of the bill, Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, worked desperately throughout the day to find the votes needed for passage.
The Senate approved AB849 last week, marking the first time a legislative body in the country to approve a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. But supporters had a harder time mustering support in the Assembly, where the bill had already failed once this year, falling four votes short.

"Then, I suggest they bring it up for another vote of the people of our state, OK?"
That's fine with me. However that happens... you certainly don't need a NC resident's approval. We just got a lottery here which was a very controvertial issue that never went to a referendum. Might not have passed if it did.
one pretty well needs to get a fundie christian shrink for that.
>>They are being used as a tool by the marxist machine carrying out Antonio Gramsci's...
Yep. And we are counting on a veto from a governor who used to publicly acknowldge Vladimir Lenin as one of his heros and keep a bust of his image in his office alongside that of JFK.
I'm not holding my breath. We better start signing petitions now.
Well! Thank you!
Which source was this from? I've read about Harry Hay and his Mattachine Society. Hay was a member of the Communist Party, one-time lover of Will Geer (of Walton's fame), defender of NAMBLA's rights, etc. After the Mattachine ejected him, he founded the Radical Faeries.
Name one; I dare you.
"Times can change? What the hell has changed since the election?"
Hey, calm down... I said I didn't know when the vote took place. And yes, believe it or not, time can change people's views. That is what you're worried about isn't it???
"For a clear understanding of the homosexual movement and it's foundations..."
Ok, homosexuals are just dupes in a marxist conspiracy to tear down the family and our country? I suppose empowering women with the vote is another grenade in the marxist arsenal. Perhaps WWII was just a marxist device to force our women into factories so that, while supporting the war effort, they would also realize that they could make their own way. Then after the war, when their husband demanded dinner on the table then second he got home from work, they would realize they didn't need to take his crap anymore. They could just walk away from the demanding and demeaning SOB. Was that in the marxist plan too??? Man, they were smart!
On most of today's college campuses and especially on the best ones, homosexuality and lesbianism has been pushed and pushed and PUSHED down the throats of kids for decades, now. Girls are told that they really aren't "WOMEN", unless they've had at least two to three lesbian "love" ( SEX ) affairs prior to a heterosexual marriage. And yes, many, sadly, fall prey to this garbage. They are MADE into, not BORN sexual deviates.
You want tolerance for something which deserves not to be tolerated...same sex marriages.
bttt
Well, not really... they're doing it the California way. The bill originated in the Assembly, and the Assembly turned it down. So, they took a bill the Assembly had approved that had nothing to do with same-sex marriage, removed all the text, and replaced it with this language, then passed it in the Senate and sent it back to the Assembly for concurrence. It's called a "gut and amend", and it's not all that common in the rest of the country.
"Well! Thank you!"
You're welcome. I feel like I'm saying the wrong things in here but it's just my opinion on the situation.
Save your homsexual activism for DU -you want to be a bleeding heart for depraved sexual acrobatics and call it 'love' -that is your problem; however, FR is not the place to debate the liberal delusion or espouse upon the morally relative talking points...
Ahem!
This is also AFTER WE THE PEOPLE voted against same sex (gag) marriage, overwhelmingly. Do NOT forget that little tidbit.
Couldn't agree more.
"Save your homsexual activism for DU -you want to be a bleeding heart for depraved sexual acrobatics and call it 'love' -that is your problem..."
Funny, I started commenting on how and/or why the representatives in CA would try to pass this bill. Somebody else turned it into a discussion about sex.
I've never been to the DU. I enjoy commenting on issues and debating on others if I disagree. If I'm not supposed to debate or disagree then please inform a moderator of my infractions. They won't even have to ban me... just ask me to leave. Until that happens I think I'll keep coming around. I am going to bed now though so you won't have to suffer me anymore this night. Also, you might want to check espouse in your dictionary. I don't think you said what you wanted to say in that last sentence...
ps. If I engage in depraved sexual acrobatics with my wife, does that mean I have to stop loving her? Please let me know.
If this sort of thing happened in Montana, I am convinced there'd be a bunch of people ready to converge on Helena and burn the malfeasant blood suckers out.
OK. Either I'M tired or you are.
Homosexuality IS about sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya think?
Should FReepers take this to mean that you would have no problem with accepting polygamous marriage if it were made legal?
