Senate Panel Approves U.S. Gay 'Marriage' Ban

"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman," reads the measure, which would require approval by two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states.

"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," it says.

"Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has scheduled a vote on the proposed amendment the week of June 5."
