Victory in Indiana: Harmful amendment will not be on the ballot this November
This afternoon, February 13, the Indiana Senate held its second reading on the damaging proposed constitutional amendment, HJR-3, which sought to ban same-sex couples from marrying in Indiana. During the reading, no amendments - including an amendment to restore the amendment's original second sentence (which would have further banned same-sex couples from entering any form of family status, including civil union or domestic partnership) - were introduced, meaning that HJR-3 will NOT be on the ballot in Indiana this November.
The bill in its current iteration will not be considered again until next year. There is still work to do to defeat HJR-3, but today's move to ensure that it will not appear on the ballot in 2014 is an enormous victory, and a huge step forward.
