A Virginia House of Delegates subcomittee last week tabled a resolution that sought to repeal a state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
The House Amendments and Other Matters Subcommittee on Feb. 17 voted 4-1 to table state Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria)’s resolution.
The Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate earlier this month approved the resolution. Republicans have a 51-47 seat majority in the House of Delegates.
Virginia voters in 2016 approved the Marshall-Newman Amendment. Same-sex couples have been able to legally marry in Virginia since 2014.
