Oh, and a few snippets of the article follow:
NASHVILLE -- A House committee voted down a bill to ban homosexuals from adopting children, during an emotional debate Wednesday that included the House speaker calling the bill's sponsor a ``master at political divisiveness.''
The Children and Family Affairs Committee voted 11-9 to defeat the measure, which had been watered down by a House subcommittee last week to remove references to homosexuals and to instead give preference to heterosexual, married couples over singles.
But the full committee decided Wednesday to vote on the original bill and not include the amendment.
During his opening statement, sponsor Chris Clem told committee members he knew the speaker and governor were ``leaning'' on them to vote against the bill, but he asked for their support.
