Anti-gay Marriage Bill Introduced in Wyoming House

An anti-gay bill has been introduced in Wyoming's House.

"The gay marriage bill would let Wyoming voters decide whether to amend the state constitution to deny state recognition of same-sex marriages performed elsewhere...A similar gay-marriage bill has stalled in the Senate Education Committee. Rep. Owen Petersen, R-Lyman, is the main sponsor of the House bill. He declined comment on the bill, saying he will not discuss it until the bill hits the floor."

Colorado's Focus on the Family group has been lobbying Wyoming residents to support the Senate resolution, but one of its co-sponsors says it hasn't been brought to a committee vote yet because there isn't enough support to pass it.
