A push to legalize gay marriage in
The
bill would let voters decide the issue of same-sex marriage, but it also states
churches would not be required to recognize the same-sex marriage bill.
After
hearing very different opinions and personal experiences, lawmakers decided
along party lines to pass the bill, which moves it to the next committee.
Rep.
Brian Egolf said he's been contacted by hundreds of people who thanked him for
sponsoring the bill.
Nine states have legalized same-sex marriage, and 10
others have allowed civil unions for gay couples.
If the bill passes,
legalizing gay marriage would appear on the ballot in November 2014.
