Senate Narrowly Defeats Gay Marriage Ban
Lawmakers Vote 25-24 To Defeat Same-Sex Marriage Resolution
DES MOINES, Iowa --
The Senate narrowly defeated a resolution Tuesday night that would have called for a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages. Lawmakers debated whether the resolution, which defines marriage as a union between only one man and one woman, was needed. Sen. Matt McCoy, a Des Moines Democrat, argued that there's already an Iowa law that recognizes only marriage between a man and a woman.
