Advocate, The, June 25, 2002
For the, second consecutive year, conservative group Alliance for Marriage has proposed amending the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as consisting "only of the union between a man and a woman." House cosponsors of the proposed amendment, introduced May 15, are representatives Ralph Hall (D-Tex.), David Phelps (D-Ill.), Chris Cannon (R-Utah), Sue Myrick (R-N.C.), Jo Ann Davis (R-Va.), and Ronnie Shows (D-Miss.).
To become law, the amendment would have to win two-thirds majorities of both houses of Congress and then be ratified by three fourths of all state legislatures, something experts say is unlikely.
