And on many votes the folks backing and opposing gay marriage itself are voting together to kill constitutional amendments that are anything but a pure yes or no on gay marriage, while at the same time the folks opposing gay marriage so far don't seem to have the umph to even get a straight up or down vote to the floor of the Constitutional Convention (but we'll see if they do if all the people trying to compromise fail a few more times).
Very amusing.

The NY Times news analysis yesterday made it seem like something of a circus issue, focusing mainly on the dissent pointing out that the sole remaining debate was really over whether gay marriage should be called marriage.
(from the
dissent):
"Under this proposed bill, there are no
substantive differences left to dispute -- there is only, on both sides, a squabble over the name to be used. . . . As a result, we have a pitched battle over who gets to use the "m" word."
If truly the core of the issue, I can see how quickly it would become silly.
