The California Senate this week is expected to vote on legislation to legalize same-sex marriage. With only two weeks left in the session lobbying by gays and by opponents to gay marriage has intensified and the vote is too close to call, despite a Democratic majority in the Senate.

The marriage bill is one of hundreds the legislature will consider with time on the clock running out.

Last Thursday the measure passed its last hurdle before heading to the Senate floor (story) when the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the measure by openly gay Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) On a 7 - 6 vote. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved it last month. (story)

2. I'm just afraid that the senate will chicken out like the assembly did

face it, politicians aren't known for being the bravest of creatures
