g********d 发帖数: 4174 | 1 A Republican lawmaker in Wyoming is pitching in to legalize marriage
equality in his state.
Rep. Keith Gingery, a Catholic on the state's judiciary committee, is co-
sponsoring two measures to recognize same-sex relationships either through
civil unions or marriage, according to the Jackson Hole Daily. Rep. Ruth Ann
Petroff, another Republican, has also expressed support for Laramie
Democrat Cathy Connolly's marriage bill.
"The population of gay couples in the state is increasing, and the law is
not very clear about what rights they have," Gingery said.
Connolly has brought similar bills to the legislature with little success.
This bill would change the state's definition of marriage to be a "civil
contract between two natural persons." Current law designates marriage for
only a male and female couple. | D**S 发帖数: 24887 | |
