(13:10:00) PinkDomeTX: here it comes
(13:10:22) BluebonPDTX: is there anything in your amendment that would preclude legal documents between people?
(13:10:29) PinkDomeTX: Mowery, making sure it doesn't hurt white people. I mean heterosexual people

(13:15:06) PinkDomeTX: his 'rock the vote' constituents would KILL him
(13:17:02) BluebonPDTX: "Why am I protecting marriage?" is Chisum's answer to Rep. Moreno
(13:17:34) PinkDomeTX: What is he protecting it from? Are we at war with marriage? I just thought it was terrorism. I can't keep up
(13:18:27) BluebonPDTX: Rep. Moreno says, don't f*ck with it, man!
(13:18:36) BluebonPDTX: don't clutter the Constitution
(13:18:51) PinkDomeTX: i think he was really talking about chisum and not the amendment

(13:54:58) PinkDomeTX: this vote will mirror the amendment's final vote 98 to 40
(13:55:09) BluebonPDTX: I'm sure that's right.
(13:55:09) PinkDomeTX: keep that number in mind and that was a record vote

(13:58:30) PinkDomeTX: Farrar says her amendment would make sure any contractual arrangements would be grandfathered b/c the AG didn't answer their question. They asked, Dewhurst never replied.
(13:58:39) BluebonPDTX: awesome.
(13:58:55) PinkDomeTX: Talton v. Farrar

(14:06:09) PinkDomeTX: I want a transcript of this debate and want to replace gay, two men, two women lesbian homosexual with negro/negroes and see what that looks like
(14:06:44) BluebonPDTX: wrong is how it could look
(14:06:52) BluebonPDTX: I can't believe these poeple don't see that.

(14:07:20) BluebonPDTX: is it just me or does Chisum sound like an evil elf?
(14:07:37) PinkDomeTX: he's got a speech impediment of some sort
(14:08:19) PinkDomeTX: Farrar withdraws her amendment to replace it with another one

(14:16:55) BluebonPDTX: yes, please include those mermaids.
(14:17:52) PinkDomeTX: I'm glad we can be a little humorous about this because it is ABSURD, INSANE, it is bigotry plain and simple. It is hate and it is political idealogy and it is an agenda of hate. so I hope our humor is taken in that context. We know..
(14:18:24) PinkDomeTX: that history will judge these people just as they do George Wallace and Bull Connor and all the people that lynched and bombed black people in the era of civil rights
(14:18:33) PinkDomeTX: wherever there is hate there will be violence.
(14:18:37) PinkDomeTX: ok, back to the humor

(14:26:15) BluebonPDTX: I'm glad Rep. Moreno is being so vocal against this.
(14:26:56) PinkDomeTX: that was eloquent about him climbing a mountain
(14:27:07) BluebonPDTX: with a freight train on his back
(14:27:26) BluebonPDTX: he's repeating it.
(14:28:55) PinkDomeTX: he's talking about glen m. now

(14:40:53) PinkDomeTX: She's talking about white folk

(14:41:30) BluebonPDTX: that's right
(14:41:51) PinkDomeTX: Thou Shalt Discriminate Against Those That Are Unlike Me.
(14:42:55) BluebonPDTX: you want to pass this ridiculous amendment so you can go home and brag.
(14:47:18) BluebonPDTX: they're interrupting her!

(14:50:00) PinkDomeTX: Senfronia has just made the most eloquent speech on this subject today

(14:51:09) BluebonPDTX: some of these reps are making me very proud
(14:51:22) BluebonPDTX: as compared to the ones who are just pissing me off.
(14:51:27) PinkDomeTX: The 20th Century was the 'color line' and the 21st Century is the sexual orientation line
(14:51:32) PinkDomeTX: hatred and bigotry in a new form
(14:52:13) BluebonPDTX: denying people rights is a new concept to me
(14:55:30) PinkDomeTX: In the name of Jesus
(14:56:03) PinkDomeTX: All men are created equal and all those promoting hate in His name are bigots and are voting against christianity
(14:57:05) BluebonPDTX: that is it, exactly.

(14:57:45) BluebonPDTX: this vote infringes on first amendment rights?
(14:58:51) PinkDomeTX: Florida Jim Crow Law: All marriages between a white person and a negro, or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited.
Any negro man and white woman, or any white man and negro woman, who are not married to each other, who shall habitually live in and occupy in the nighttime the same room shall each be punished by imprisonment not exceeding twelve 12 months, or by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars.
