‘An appalling abdication’: Proposed constitutional amendment to codify same-sex marriage fails in the Delaware House
A proposed constitutional amendment to codify same-sex marriage in Delaware failed in the House, with 24 yes votes, 3 no votes, and 14 members not voting. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall, aimed to protect marriage rights from being denied based on characteristics like race or sex. Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings criticized the failure as an 'appalling abdication' of duty.
