The U.S. Senate is set to debate a federal ban on same-sex “marriage” June 5. A vote could come on the Marriage Protection Amendment — S.J. Res. 1 — June 6 or 7. The current status of the amendment follows a 10–8 approval of the ban by the Senate Judiciary Committee May 18.
The measure would amend the Constitution to say, “Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any state, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.”
Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said, “Supporters of traditional marriage need to bombard their senators’ offices with e-mails and phone calls, and preachers across America need to let the pulpit ring forth … on Marriage Protection Sunday, June 4, and help create a groundswell of support for this amendment.
