Lincoln Chafee X390 (FAIR) | ADVOCATE.COM
While being sworn in as Rhode Island's first independent governor this
morning, Lincoln Chafee advocated marriage equality for his state, reports
The Providence Journal.
“When marriage equality is the law in Rhode Island, we honor our
forefathers who risked their lives and fortune in the pursuit of human
equality,” Chafee said during his speech.
As the new governor, Chafee steps into the job that his father, the late
John H. Chafee, held for three terms in the 1960s. The Republican-turned-
Independent Chafee, lost his bid for reelection to the U.S. Senate in 2006. | g********d

R.I. Bishop Blasts New Gov. on Marriage
By Advocte.com Editors
The leader of Rhode Island's Roman Catholics said marriage equality is "
morally wrong," and that the newly sworn-in governor and other lawmakers
should not be pushing to legalize it in his state.
Bishop Thomas J. Tobin was reacting to marriage equality legislation
submitted Thursday to the Rhode Island General Assembly, according to the
Providence Journal. The legislation is backed by Governor Lincoln Chafee,
who called for marriage equality in his inaugural address. Tobin also
criticized Chafee for not holding a prayer service before his inauguration.
“It is particularly disturbing that our new governor, who has trumpeted his
desire to bring our state together in unity, would adopt such a very
divisive agenda item as one of his first priorities,” Tobin said in a
statement, according to the Journal. “His proposal violates the sincere
conscience of many of our citizens and inflames passions on both sides of
the issue. … Our state leaders could better serve all Rhode Islanders by
working on initiatives that will create jobs and improve the overall
economic health of our state | D**S

显然这个老家伙潜台词是gay people都不能算 Rhode Islanders，可能干脆都不能算
human beings。
