In 2003, there was passage of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman, Scott said. That year also saw a proposed amendment that would have banned LGBT foster parenting. The amendment passed both the House and Senate but was removed from a bill by a joint conference committee.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, threatened similar legislation prior to this year's session but never introduced a bill or proposed an amendment.
