Texas Senate approves gay marriage ban
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "The Texas Senate approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions Saturday, setting up a statewide referendum this fall that would further cement a ban already in state law.
The 21-8 vote crossed the two-thirds threshold needed to send the amendment to voters in November. The House approved it last month.
If voters support the measure, Texas would join nearly 20 states with constitutional bans on gay marriage. More than 40 states have statutory definitions of marriage."
