| Description | "Less than 3 weeks after its introduction, a gay marriage bill in Delaware faces its final legislative hurdle on its way to becoming law.
After hearing roughly 90 minutes of testimony, the state's Senate Executive Committee approved the bill with a 4-2 vote, sending the measure to the full Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. The House approved the measure last Wednesday with a 23-18 vote.

Nicole Theis, president of the Delaware Family Policy Council, testified against passage of the bill, saying that such unions would hurt children.
Roberta Price, a 21-year Navy veteran, told the panel that despite her 2008 California marriage, her wife Colleen receives no benefits recognition from the military. |
