Texas Gay Marriage Ban Revived
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/051805texas.htm

A proposed amendment to the Texas Constitution to ban same-sex marriage is back on track and will likely be heard by a key committee this week despite attempts to block it.

A hearing in the Senate State Affairs Committee had been scheduled for Tuesday, but state Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) an opponent of the measure, used a parliamentary tactic to postpone it. (story)

Wednesday, the chair of the committee, Sen. Robert Duncan (R-Lubbock) said he hopes to have a hearing on the measure Thursday afternoon. But, only after all other pending business is dealt with.
