Federal Marriage Amendment rejected
Current Affairs, Politics 09/30/2004 |Excellent news: the proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage has been shot down.
The House emphatically rejected a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage Thursday, the latest in a string of conservative pet causes advanced by Republican leaders in the run-up to Election Day.
The vote was 227-186, 49 votes shy of the two-thirds needed for approval of an amendment that President Bush backed but the Senate had previously scuttled.
