you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

This isn't a democracy. Your argument is flawed in that, they shouldn't be on team D if they don't support equality laws. It is our responsibility as voters to ensure that people that support our viewpoint are elected. It isn't the elected persons job to cave to our opinion.

Ok, fine. "They should be approving it because their constituents overwhelmingly support it, and presumably they want to get re-elected, not just because they're on Team D."

Well, these types of people actually do say that quite often. They don't try to ban divorces or outlaw unmarried pregnancies these days, but I know many of them have that opinion.

Am I correct in assuming that one no vote whose constituents are overwhelmingly in favor of it is the super fundamentalist senator who keeps talking about the fight between God and Satan?

Have we gotten any feel about how that one unknown vote is gonna go? Looks like the public commenting is gonna be going on for a while.
Metts is the jerk, as evidenced by his last comments invoking Columbine.

Raptakis is not a complete jerk and is a businessman specifically opposed to exemptions for florists etc.. I'd bet on no, but I can see him voting it out of committee and opposing on the floor.

Conley is undecided but was opposed when he ran in 2012 like Jabour, who flipped on Tuesday. Not announcing his support alongside Jabour is not a great sign, but momentum and constituent support is on our side.

Well, single parents are just sluts anyway and they're awful parents too

Also, childless couples might as well get divorced. Their marriages are worthless.

I can't get a read on Conley from these questions.

He's asking what are basically softball questions (clergy counseling is not regulated by the state) but not in an obvious "I'm for this bill, please make people happier by dispelling myths" way.

e: Photobombing couple is great.

Some of the LGBT/legal orgs might post highlights. If they have the capability I'd expect most of Mr. Gauvin's testimony.

It looks like Capitol TV has an archive on the state site.

Yeah these testimonies from the kids are especially cringe-worthy. The previous one was obviously just reading off whatever his mom had written down for him to say.
