BONES Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 (CBS/AP) The House on Tuesday rejected a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, ending for another year a congressional debate that supporters of the ban hope will still reverberate in this fall's election. The 236-187 vote for the proposal to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman was 47 short of the two-thirds majority needed to advance a constitutional amendment. The amendment was not expected to pass, CBS News correspondent Bob Fuss reports, and it followed six weeks after the Senate also decisively defeated the amendment, a top priority of social conservatives. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/18/...in1813421.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
