| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill is outrageous! It activley persecutes homosexuals for a condition they cannot control. Studies prove children raised in homosexual households are NOT more likely to become homosexual themselves, so there is no point in limiting adoption. Everyperson should have the right to marry regardless of sexuality! The other parts of the bill were acceptable, but we vehemently vote no to this atrocity! I yield - Isabella Pena |
