In arguing against the gay-marriage ban, Sen. Dianne Wilkerson drew upon her experience as a black woman growing up in Arkansas, where the hospital did not allow her mother to deliver her children.
"I know the pain of being less than equal and I cannot and will not impose that status on anyone else," a teary-eyed Wilkerson said. "I could not in good conscience ever vote to send anyone to that place from which my family fled."Vs.Linda Tardif, 27, principal of Independent Baptist Academy of the Anchor Baptist Church in Woburn, held a microphone in her hand to lead anti-gay marriage chants. She said she brought the entire primary-secondary school of 20 children to demonstrate.
"God destroyed a whole city over this issue," she said, referring to the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. "We're trying to save our city, our state." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2004/02/11/national1421EST0684.DTL
