Jason Nelson, the Republican Oklahoma state rep - who does not have gay face! - introduced HB 3408, called "An act relating to marriage" which would make it a felony for a minister of the gospel to solemnize a marriage not recognized by the state.

You'd have to have your head in the sand not to admit it … I'll die before I vote no." > Full Story. [12/15/09]
