The North Dakota House of Representatives has voted to change the state’s definition of marriage. The vote took place on Friday and saw lawmakers approve a bill that would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, striking down the previous definition of marriage as a union between two individuals.
The bill, which passed with a vote of 65-26, will now move on to the state Senate for further consideration. Supporters of the bill argue that the traditional definition of marriage should be upheld and that the state should not recognize same-sex marriages.
However, opponents of the bill argue that it is discriminatory and goes against the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. They believe that marriage should be a union between two consenting individuals, regardless of gender.
If the bill passes the state Senate, it will become law in North Dakota. This decision could have far-reaching implications for same-sex couples in the state and may lead to legal challenges. The debate over the definition of marriage continues to be a controversial and divisive issue across the United States.
