Tom Delay, (horrors!), backs off on Gay Stuff
here...http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/2417678

<snippo>
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said he appreciated Bush's "moral leadership" on the issue, but expressed caution about moving too quickly toward a constitutional solution, and never directly supported one. "This is so important we're not going to take a knee-jerk reaction to this," Delay said. "We are going to look at our options and we are going to be deliberative about what solutions we may suggest."

2. Interesting quote there...
....

"Because, regardless of where you stand on homosexuals and marriage, the constitution wasn't penned to manage the behavior of citizens. It exists to limit the powers of government. This proposed amendemnt is not only wrong, it's a constitutional travesty."

6. I knew one gay couple in Sugarland, but they moved back to Houston...
