In a highly unusual move, Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma today moved a controversial same-sex marriage ban to a new committee after the measure stalled in a previous committee.

Bosma said the proposed amendment to the state constitution, known as House Joint Resolution 3, will be moved from the House Judiciary Committee to the Elections and Apportionment Committee.

1. IF THEY WERE REALLY PRO MARRIAGE

THEY'D BE TRYING TO BAN DIVORCE

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PREVENT MARRIAGE.

But disposable spouses are such a fun thing for the holier-than-thou's.

3. Noticed that, too

On the last electoral maps Indiana looked like a red middle finger sitting atop the south.

4. Hello from North Mississippi......formerly Indiana.

Bosma is acting like a little chris christy by ignoring procedures and just trying
to ram his ultra reich wing fascist agenda through the house.

They did the same shit with the right to work legislation they rammed through last time,
because they know they have a very limited window of opportunity to do as much
damage as they can before they loose their dictatorial power
in the state senate.

It sucks to be STUCK in this SHIT HOLE state.

6. It does ...

I'm doing what I can to stop this, but dreaming of getting out from amidst the red.
