DescriptionDES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A key Iowa House committee has approved a resolution that would begin the long process of putting a gay marriage ban before voters.

The House Judiciary Committee on Monday approved the measure on a 13-8 vote, sending the measure to the full House for debate.

Earlier, a subcommittee of that panel voted 2-1 in favor of the resolution.

House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer, R-Garner, says the full House could take up the resolution within a few days, but next week is more likely.
