IFI Update: House Committee Passes Homosexual "Civil Unions" Bill
How did they vote?
Despite the fact that Austin Nimocks, Senior Counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), testified against the homosexual "civil unions" bill (HB 2234), it passed out of the Youth & Family Committee today by a vote of 4 to 3 -- strictly along party lines.
