There will be no vote on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage during the 2010 legislative session, Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal said in an interview with The Iowa Independent.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs (file photo) Republicans may try to force a vote on an amendment, the Democrat from Council Bluffs said, but he will not allow any bill banning same-sex marriage to come to the floor.
"I will not write discrimination into the constitution of the State of Iowa," Gronstal said. "I’m going to block that at every opportunity. There will be no vote on the constitutional amendment."
