Rep. Gloria Vaughn was brain dead in defending the irrational view against domestic partnership. I hope her embarrassing representation brings home just how ignorant and theologist is her stand on this issue.

gofdisks: You are 100% correct re Gloria Vaughn. Her muddled answers and embarrassing non-answers were almost beyond belief for someone who is a legislator. She didn't even seem to know what the bill proposed. If I lived in or near Alamogordo in her district, I'd be ashamed someone like Gloria could get elected and was supposedly representing me, no matter how I felt about the domestic partnership issue.
It was painful to me personally to realize that my civil rights in the state are being denied because of a minority of legislators like Gloria Vaughn (and of course Lidio Rainaldi) who are voting out of ignorance and violating the Constitution's mandate of the separation of church and state.
