North Carolina House blocks proposed gay marriage ban
Speaker Tim Moore says House Bill 780 will not be heard this session and referred to Rules Committee. The measure, backed by conservative lawmakers, sought to nullify the 2015 federal ruling and restore Amendment One, denying recognition of same sex marriages performed elsewhere. Other Republican reps criticized the bill amid national coverage.
