Wyo. Senate Approves Marriage Ban

Wyoming residents are one step closer to voting on a constitutional ban on marriage equality now that the senate has passed a measure on Thursday calling for the ballot initiative.

Sen. Curt Meier's resolution to allow voters to decide on the fate of gay and lesbian couples was approved 20-10, according to the Associated Press.

The resolution will now go to the house of representatives for approval.
