Same-Sex Marriage Regresses in Indiana

An Indiana Senate committee voted this week to send a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage to the full legislative body, the Associated Press reports. House legislators stripped out a sentence that would ban civil unions, but the amendment's supporters want the sentence restored. If the sentence is restored, a public vote could happen this fall. If the sentence is not restored, then legislators would have to pass the amendment a second time in another legislative session before the measure could go to voters.
