North Dakota resolution urging to end same-sex marriage advances
North Dakota lawmakers have taken a symbolic step against same-sex marriage, passing a resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn _Obergefell v. Hodges_, the 2015 ruling that legalized it nationwide. The House approved the measure in a 52-40 vote, sending it to the Senate for further debate. Supporters claim marriage should remain between a man and a woman, while opponents, including Rep. Austin Foss, D-Fargo, say the resolution sends a painful message—that LGBTQ North Dakotans are unwelcome in their own state. The fight now moves to the Senate. More on the story can be found at the North Dakota Monitor; bill details are below.
