Indiana House stalls over marriage ban

The Indiana House of Representatives adjourned until Monday without resolving the contentious proposal to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriages. Democratic House Speaker Patrick Bauer has so far refused to recognize the Republicans attempt to bring the marriage ban proposal to debate, saying that the state's law against the marriages is sufficient. Democrats asked a gay minister, Rev. Jeff Miner, to give the opening prayer to Thursday's session, during which he hoped the legislators could "'find the right balance between representing the will of the majority and protecting unpopular minorities from the tyranny of the masses.'"
