Here's something I overlooked last week.

But Senate Minority Leader Don Caruth said his opposition to the bill was because it's unnecessary. The bill defines "sexual orientation" as "heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual," which he says includes everyone.

So is Caruth not in opposition on the merits, but because it's redundant legislation? Does that mean he opposes the gay marriage ban on the same grounds, that it's not unnecessary because of existing law?
