Senator, in light of your earlier assertion, is the Pennsylvania Legislature bigoted and un-American?

By a vote of 136-61, which included significant Democratic support, the House approved a proposal that would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

The bill will likely be voted on in the Senate by the end of the month, a Senate Republican spokesman said.

A constitutional amendment requires passage in the legislature in two consecutive sessions and then approval by voters in a statewide referendum, which could come as early as spring 2007.

We are waiting, Senator, with bated breath.

And are there other issues that you believe it is unAmerican for legislators to debate, or upon which it is un-American for the people to vote?

And why is it that so many Democrats fear democracy in action?
