I yield myself 15 seconds. The gentleman from California says he is not singling out Chicanos Por la Causa, that there are other private organizations, but he never mentions them.

This is a legislative enactment that essentially says that the fact that I live in a loving committed marriage with another man is somehow a threat to other people's freedom.
If you're going to dip your fingers in the Federal till, don't complain if a little democracy rubs off on them.
