Indiana: Two more city councils adopt resolutions opposing constitutional gay marriage ban


As the Indiana state legislature debates a proposed constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, the South Bend and Muncie councils both voted Monday night to adopt resolutions against the amendment.

The South Bend resolution was approved on a 6-2 vote, while the Muncie resolution was adopted in a 9-0 vote.

City councils in Indianapolis, Evansville and Bloomington and a bipartisan group of mayors from several cities have also spoken out against the proposed amendment.

The House Judiciary Committee on Monday delayed a vote on following more than three hours of testimony from supporters and opponents. If legislators approve the amendment during this year’s session, it will go before voters on the November election ballot.
