CHEYENNE -- The state Senate on Wednesday defeated a compromise on a bill that would have defined marriage in Wyoming as between one man and one woman.
The Senate voted 16 to 14 to reject compromise language to House Bill 74- Validity of Marriages, which would not have allowed recognition of same-sex marriages from outside Wyoming.

Close vote. But I am proud to see my beloved Wyoming continuing to honor its legacy as the Equality State.
