Poll shows Tennessee civil union ban likely to pass

Steve Cohen, D-Memphis, was the lone senator of 29 who stood up for same-sex relationships: "They preserve order and structure to society, guaranteeing freedom, privacy, benefits and rights that are important when a person is dying, when a person is sick, when a person is in need of a companion to help them."
