Rhode Island Same sex marriage bill

Passed the committee leading up to a full senate vote tomorrow. The asshole DINO who represents my district voted no, of course. Tried to get the DINO out last election but fell short. He's in line to be the next Senate majority leader. Maybe we'll replace him with a progressive and not a DINO who votes how the catholic church tells him to. One can always hope. It's going to be tough though. He's a corporatist "family values" (keep women and gays in their place) outspoken catholic. Too bad he cares more about oppressing people than helping the poor.
