In Indiana: A Gay Marriage Ban has been Introduced


An amendment to ban Gay marriage has been introduced in the Indiana House of Representatives. The constitutional ban is called the House Joint Resolution 3 or HJR 3. It also accompanied with the companion House Bill 1153.

That bill explains the intent of the proposal is not to deny employer health benefits to same-sex couples or to circumvent local ordinances that forbid discrimination. That bill could be very problematic.

This will be something to watch in the upcoming weeks. NOM is already set up down there and possibly other hate groups will show up to to help. Hopefully, the pro-gay groups and allies will show up as well.

The hearing starts this Monday.
