Senate blocks gay marriage bigotry

So they voted it down. Big surprise. Much has been said. Kennedy added his two cents:

Senate rejects gay marriage ban - Yahoo! News: "'The Republican leadership is asking us to spend time writing bigotry into the Constitution,' said Sen. Edward Kennedy (news, bio, voting record) of Massachusetts, which legalized gay marriage in 2003. 'A vote for it is a vote against civil unions, against domestic partnership, against all other efforts for states to treat gays and lesbians fairly under the law.'

In response, Hatch fumed: 'Does he really want to suggest that over half of the United States Senate is a crew of bigots?'"

Well, yeah.
