Great to know Athens' congressman is definitely committed to the important issues.
Like bigotry:
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun will re-introduce a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in the wake of recent votes and court decisions legalizing the practice in at least five states.
The amendment is a sign that battles over whether to allow same-sex marriage will continue to rage, even as state courts and legislatures overturn bans.
The D.C. City Council voted Tuesday to recognize same-sex marriages from states that allow them. The Iowa Supreme Court ruled in April that gay marriage is constitutional in that heartland state. Massachusetts and Connecticut also allow same-sex marriage; Vermont and Maine will allow it beginning in September, and a bill allowing it in New Hampshire is awaiting Gov. John Lynch's signature.
The recent trend toward legalizing gay marriage at the state level "highlighted the need for the amendment," said Pepper Pennington, a spokeswoman for Broun, R-Athens.
How long until we can get this wingnut out of office, again?

I thought he was for "state's rights"?
