Pretty soon they’ll be marrying prairie dogs

prairieAccording to the Wyoming Associated Press, Focus on the Family Action isn’t just tying to ban gays from getting married, they’re also trying to ban Wyoming from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states–a move that many states view as a compromise. From the AP:

A national conservative Christian group has begun a telephone lobbying campaign in Wyoming in support of a gay-marriage ban in the state Senate.

Focus on the Family Action, of Colorado Springs, Colo., is pushing to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would stop the state from recognizing same-sex marriages performed elsewhere.

“We want to see marriages protected,” said Sonja Swiatkiewicz, director of issues response for Focus on the Family Action. She said the calls began Friday, but she would not disclose the cost or number of calls.

State law already says only marriages between a man and a woman may be conducted in Wyoming. However, the state is bound to recognize same-sex marriages and civil unions performed in other states.
