SJR-7 Passes Senate

Filed in: , , , , ,

The controversial, discriminatory Senate Joint Resolution 7 - to amend the Indiana Constitution to bar equal marriage rights - had a second reading in the Senate today, and was passed by the Senate, much to the State's disgrace.

Apparently an amendment to remove the highly ambigous second paragraph of the bill was voted down, even though a similar paragraph in Michigan's law recently caused domestic partner benefits to be struck down in that state.

The bill will now go to a House committee to be heard.

You can contact your legislators to tell them not to pass this law. Visit Stoptheamendment.org and enter your zip code. Their handy form will allow you to send a message quickly and easily.
