NASHVILLE - A bill to prevent Tennessee from legally recognizing same-sex civil unions was deferred one week after a House subcommittee refused to take a vote during a hearing on Wednesday. The Democrat-controlled House Domestic Relations subcommittee did not employ parliamentary procedure or normal House rules by ignoring a Republican motion to take a roll call vote, but instead rolled the bill to next week.
