Late Friday Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) and 28 conservative cosponsors introduced a federal constitutional amendment in the House of Representatives, which would define marriage in the United States as the union of one man and one woman.
The proposed amendment stated, “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.'”
The amendment if passed would overturn laws in the 13 states and D.C. that currently have marriage equality and prevent any future same-sex marriages in any state.
Rep. Huelskamp attempted to defend the proposed amendment during an interview yesterday with David Gregory on Meet the Press, citing widely discredited research that children suffer from being raised in homes with same-sex parents.
