Proposed constitutional amendment dies on 12-8 vote (http://www.washblade.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=12170)

The judiciary committee voted 12-8 on March 22 to reject House Bill 919, which also sought to bar public schools from teaching about "same-sex relationships." The measure was considered unlikely to pass the General Assembly and would have faced a gubernatorial veto.


Although the vote came largely along party lines, two Democrats supported the measure.
