Delaware poised to pass gay civil unions

Lawmakers in Delaware are poised to pass legislation that would give homosexual couples a marriage-like legal status that has everything but the name “marriage” attached to it.

On Wednesday the House Administration Committee approved SB 30, the homosexual civil unions bill, in a 4 – 1 vote. The House is expected to take up the legislation Thursday evening.

The Senate already approved the bill last week in a 13-6 vote, and Democrat Gov. Jack Markell has signaled that he will sign the measure into law if it passes the full House....

House lawmakers will also discuss a variety of amendments when they take up the legislation, including an amendment that would allow unmarried heterosexuals to apply for civil union status, and another that would stress that a civil union is not the legal equivalent of a marriage.

House Minority Leader Rep. Greg Lavelle (R-Sharpley) says he believes the bill is a prelude to a bill that would fully legalize same-sex “marriage.”

What requirements will be imposed on those who conscientiously object to homosexual relations?

It always affects other people, even though the perversionphiles say it won’t.

As a grizzled oldster, I'm at the tail end (no pun intended) of remembering when Rehoboth Beach still had the image of being dull and mostly for fuddy duddies because of its Methodist origins. The hot spot was further south at Ocean City (which also had good French Fries).

There is no such thing as a gay marriage. Marriage requires a "union" of the sexes.

Yes, there are exceptions...health for example....but fags and lesbos need not apply.

Delaware adopts civil unions bill

DOVER – Delaware’s House of Representatives voted 26-15 this evening to grant legal status to same-sex civil unions, giving those couples the same rights, protections and obligations now granted to married couples.

Based upon what I have been reading in the comments section of the Snooze Urinal the past couple of weeks, this does not surprise me.

If Delaware goes fag, that’s one more place I’ll never visit. No big loss for me.

IF????????

I moved to Delaware in 1982 from New York and the Delaware beaches were VERY well known in the gay communities of NYC even back then. It's not known as the nation's summer capitol for nothing.

I've been gone for 8 years, but I'm only 50 miles and I know it hasn't changed.

More power to you.

There are those of us who will still to choose to go to Delaware and others who must go.

Politics not withstanding, it is actually is a beautiful state, if one knows where to go.

Yes, and now that it has passed, the governor is planning to sign it as soon as he can.

Absolutely! My favorite is the sliver north and west of Wilmington in the Brandywine, Red Clay, and White Clay Creek valleys. My grandfather grew up on a farm in that area, and he and my grandmom are buried near there, not far from the PA border. The non-developed parts of the area bounded by the Susquehanna, the C&D Canal, I-76, and the Delaware River = my favorite part of the world.

I’ve always been more partial to the rural areas of lower slower, like Rte 9 in Kent.

But no doubt there is much beauty there.

My husband has been up in Dover several times over the past month or so and comes home just shaking his head as he notices more and more of what used to be rural Delaware becoming more and more suburban. He told me it reminds him of why he is so happy we’re raising our daughter where we are, it reminds him of Dover and Kent county when he was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
