At the Statehouse for the full Senate marriage equality vote

by: Rosi Efthim

Thu Jan 07, 2010 at 12:59:07 PM EST



There is a sea of dark blue EQUALITY t-shirts here at the statehouse, and almost all the people tucked inside them have taken the day off from work today to be here. The full Senate vote on marriage equality is set for 2pm today, and right now there are people already in the gallery, in overflow rooms, crowding the hallways, and trying to grab a last energy bar from the cafeteria for the long day ahead.

At 2pm: Full Senate will be session. They will hear and vote on marriage equality during that session. Click this link to listen live at that time and choose Senate Session.

Security is tighter even than usual, which is how it should be. I can tell you the rabbi quotient is higher than other times I've been here, but the number of marriage equality supporters is exponentially higher than that. I'm going to leave my safe, warm blogging location now (yay! I have my own outlet!) and go downstairs to talk to some of the people here.

Session hasn't started yet (0.00 / 0)
word is that no Senators have been seated yet and only a couple have come in.

Will update as soon as I get word and the session starts.

Scott Garrett - on the wrong side of, well, everything.
