| Description | As expected, Virginia’s House of Delegates overwhelmingly reaffirmed its desire to add a gay marriage ban to the state’s constitution, despite impassioned warnings that the measure would have unintended consequences.
The 73-22 vote Friday sends the measure to the Senate. If it is approved there, it will be placed on the November ballot and Virginia voters will have the final say.
Constitutional amendments must pass in consecutive General Assembly sessions, with an intervening House of Delegates election, to be placed on the ballot. The measure was approved by a wide margin last year - an indication that it would likely sail through again in this session.
