As Barely Noticed on the MSNBC Ticker...

This morning around 6:10 or so, while watching Imus, the veteran observed a short headline in the ticker, pronouncing that a Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage has passed a Senate panel headed by Kansas Republican Sam Brownback. This is the worst kind of sliding-it-in, because few people (except those like me who are overly observant of news tickers), will have seen it. I couldn't find anything on MSNBC.com about it, and at the time, there was no mention of it on any of the morning newscasts I was flipping through. If you have any gay friends, are gay yourself, or support the idea that marriage is up to couples and churches and not the federal government, tell whomever you can about this sneak attack on the rights of same-sex couples everywhere. Hopefully it will be defeated (again).
