Iowa Republicans Press For Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/01/011508iam.htm

Republicans are demanding that Democrats who control the legislature take up a proposed amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. Wednesday hundreds of conservative Christians bussed in from across the state added leverage to the call.

The protestors held a prayer session at the legislature in support of traditional marriage.

Iowa already has a law limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples but supporters of the amendment say it could be overturned by "renegade" judges.

At least 48 representatives have signed onto a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to prevent same-sex marriage.
