Iowa House approves resolution to amend constitution on gay marriage
The Iowa House voted 54 to 44 to place a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage before voters. The bill must pass the Senate in the same form and gain approval by the 2007 General Assembly to appear on the ballot. Proponents cite judicial activism worries while opponents call it exclusionary and politically motivated.
