yeah, not sure why 1991 was on the brain. Thanks, I'll correct it.

Ouch, seems like a tough time to have that in one's past. I hope people remember this when they go to the polls.

carnahan's web site says he is opposed to gay marriages, in favor of civil unions, opposed to the constitutional amendment, and endorsed by PROMO. Does the vote in 2001 contradict any of that?

PROMO has some explaining to do. It's credibility is on the line.

Russ's father, Gov. Mel Carnahan signed the DOMA Law so this is hardly a surprise. He's really in step with most of the Democrats nationally: Opposed to "Gay Marriage," for "Civil Unions" as well as Federal Hate Crimes Legislation and ENDA and the Permanent Parntner Immigration Act. All in all not a bad record.

reading drebes column a week or so ago in the biz journal, it would seem that PROMO has decided to take a relatively conservative role in the amendment 2 debate--as a constitutional issue and not an issue of civil rights. PROMO is not a "gay or lesbian" organization per se, but their stance is at least understandable--in a conservative state where most democrats in the house and senate voted for the initial marriage ban and many liberals also toe that line--"I'm against gay marriage but in favor of civil unions." It seems to me that in such a situation is as much up to the heteroes--"straight but not narrow"--to point out that denying marriage to gays and lesbians is discriminations.

I am impressed that he took the time to show up for a vote given that he seems to have a propensity to miss them.
