“The Sodomy Lobby must be beside themselves with frustration!”

Actually, they are probably the ones delaying it. Whenever votes on issues like this happen fast - sanity usually prevails. Drag it out long enough to make the public lose interest, and the nutball faction usually gets their way.

(Hence the reason democrap politicians usually “run away” to avoid voting.)

In a sense, you're right. A floor vote with the sodomites losing would be the worst possible scenario for them. It would represent a sound repudiation of their agenda. Better it never come to a vote than let it soundly be defeated in a public hearing.

But I disagree about the delay. Every hour that nothing is done proves that they don't have enough support. They will spin this as "working on it" for an inevitable victory, but I don't believe it.
