Senate approves bill to restrict marriage licenses to opposite sex
In Sacramento the Senate cleared a bill to bar county clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples, defining marriage as a civil contract between a man and a woman. Assemblyman Bruce Nestande said clerks sought the measure after gays requested licenses, while Sen John Briggs argued it would restore morality despite opposition noting no licenses had been issued to same sex couples. The bill, 23 to 5, returns to the Assembly with minor amendments.
