Wyoming Kills Marriage Bill, Advances Domestic Partnership Legislation

The Wyoming House Corporations Committee rejected HB 169, which would have legalized same-sex marriage, by a 5-4 vote. Malicious testimony including graphic gay sex depictions and comparisons to pedophilia were included in the debate.
A partner bill that would create a domestic partner registry did pass the committee with a 7-2 vote. Read more here.
