Proponents of the bill say allowing universities to offer domestic-partner benefits violates the Kentucky Constitution, which was amended in 2004 to ban same-sex marriage.

"I have sympathy for Sen. Scorsone," said Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville. "I know it's difficult for him to deal with this issue. Nobody directed any comments at him, nor would we have stood for anyone to say anything disrespectful on the floor."

Sen. Vernie McGaha, R-Russell Springs, who sponsored the bill, said it is about not sacrificing his convictions.

"I do not recognize domestic partnerships as being a correct thing," he said. "My Bible teaches against it."

Well, FUCK YOU and your Bible, Vernie! You bigoted piece of shit!
