Federal Marriage Amendment Fails.

As expected, the Federal Marriage Amendment has failed. The Senate voted 49 to 48 today to defeat the discriminatory Federal Marriage Amendment, an amendment that would have denied marriage to same-sex couples and seriously threatened civil unions and domestic partnerships across the U.S.

Here in Oregon, Sen. Gordon Smith voted for the amendment and Sen. Ron Wyden voted against it.
