## Resource

Delaware’s bid to enshrine marriage equality into its constitution hit a roadblock when the House rejected a sweeping amendment designed to guarantee equal marital rights regardless of gender, race, or national origin—despite Senate approval. Backed by Senator Russ Huxtable as a counter to national rollback trends, the bill aimed to protect spousal and child rights while preserving religious freedom. But lawmakers split: some saw it as redundant, others like Rep. Josué Ortega voted against it to honor constituents’ views. Surprisingly, key supporter Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall voted no too—strategically, to force a potential second vote next year. The defeat leaves Delaware’s existing marriage equality intact, but leaves the door open for future legislative action. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
