West Virginia's House of Delegates voted along party lines Monday to end this session's chances for a proposed constitutional amendment on marriage.
An evangelical group has pressed lawmakers this session to have marriage defined as between one woman and one man. But the resolution needed to put the issue before voters has stalled in committee. That prompted Monday's move by Republican delegates to force it to the full House.
Delegates voted 67-30 to reject the attempt. All 29 House Republicans voted to move the measure out of committee, as did Delegate Tom Louisos, D-Fayette.
(Things like this makes me think more and more the Democrats are in the pokets of the radical pro same sex marriage people. This is also why that party is losing pro family voters and those in the middle. Read more on this issue
