Gay marriage debate in House today
Supporters and detractors plan to testify today before the House Judiciary Committee on legislation that would allow same-sex marriage in Rhode Island.
The committee will meet around 4:30 p.m. in Room 313 of the State House.
The bill removes gender-specific language from the section of the state’s general laws that governs eligibility for marriage.
According to the organization Marriage Equality RI, the legislation has never been voted on in the 10 years it has been introduced.

Don't people have anything else to focus on instead of the gay population? There are other fish to fry and they are sitting in Washington DC.
