Dems approve draft of same-sex marriage plank for convention platform – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
About time. It has been embarrassing that my party has been so slow on this. At least one of the political parties is trying to enter the 21st century.
Democrats meeting in Minneapolis this weekend approved draft language supportive of same-sex marriage as a plank in their party's platform, two Democratic sources confirmed Monday.
The full Democratic platform committee will now consider the same-sex marriage endorsement at a meeting in Detroit, scheduled to take place in two weeks. It will then be voted on by convention delegates in Charlotte. If approved, it would mark the first time support for same-sex marriage is included in the Democrats' platform.
