[Content Note: Homophobia.]
The proposed amendment to the Indiana State constitution that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, which isn't quite dead after all, is being taken up in the Senate in a legislative session just about to begin. The gallery is once again packed with Hoosiers opposing this reprehensible attempt to encode bigotry into our state constitution.
You can watch the proceedings live here.

UPDATE: Republicans could not get enough support for reinstating the second sentence that bans civil unions. Encoding a ban on same-sex marriage into the state constitution will OFFICIALLY not be put to a vote on a ballot in Indiana this year. I am sobbing with relief.
