GOP takes another shot at gay marriage amendment (Indiana)

[Swede]

Indianapolis- Republican lawmakers in Indiana are resuming their push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

A legislative hearing is scheduled for Monday. Opponents say the amendment isn't needed because Indiana law already bans gay marriage, but supporters worry that courts could overturn that law.

An amendment banning gay marriage passed the General Assembly in 2005 when Republicans controlled the House and Senate, but constitutional amendments must go through two separate Legislatures before being put to a public vote. In 2006, Democrats won control of the House and the proposal never cleared that chamber.

Hoosier republicans campaigned on jobs, jobs, jobs. I got several flyers in the mail from Kevin Mahan and other GOPubs and none of them even touched social issues.
