Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said today that he is working to build support for a House-passed bill recognizing same-gender marriage on the federal level so that it can be approved by the Senate, The Hill reports. The legislation would need 10 GOP votes to overcome a filibuster assuming all of the Senate’s 50 Democrats back it, but hopes for passage have been lifted after 47 Republicans in the House backed the bill.
“The legislation is so important,” said Schumer, who has spoken with Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), a sponsor of the Senate companion bill, to see if it has enough GOP support to pass the Senate. “She is talking to Republicans to see where the support is. I want to bring this bill to the floor, and we’re working to get the necessary Senate Republican support to ensure it would pass,” Schumer said.
It makes sense. In an amoral state, why can't the government change the definnition of marriage to "any two consenting adults"?
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy of the gay community is that they say that "one man and one woman" is not sacred but when you suggest polygamy they shout that "two people" is!
Schumer is afraid that his toeivahnik daughter, who "married" a lesbian, will lose that, as reported in the press in the past.
