Same-sex marriage ban fails in Georgia House
Although we reported that the Georgia House of Representatives would not debate on the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages, they changed their minds and brought it to an immediate vote Thursday. The proposal barely failed, missing only three necessary votes to complete the two-thirds necessary to pass and be sent to the voters in November. The House will vote again next week, after an expected intense array of protestors and calls to legislators over the weekend. Twelve legislators did not vote for various reasons, all of whom will be vigourously lobbied from both sides.
