As the controversy surrounding the Colorado Civil Unions bill continues today, two days ago Colorado's own openly gay Senator Pat Steadman called the political machinations surrounding it "a disgusting spectacle."
He went on to say, "The lengths to which House Republican leadership went to thwart the passage of SB 2,
the Civil Unions bill, were amazing and shocking. On the evening of
Tuesday, May 8, 2012, a disgusting spectacle was played out on the floor
of the House of Representatives before a large audience of bill
supporters, an audience that grew more impatient and angrier as night
wore on. Those who witnessed this spectacle are not likely to soon
forget it."
