For two days, lawmakers have examined whether to amend the state's constitution to outlaw gay marraige, and what if any provision should be made for gay and lesbian couples to join together in civil unions.
They voted down a third compromise proposal last night, and decided to adjourn until next month.
Legislators will re-visit the issue when they reconvene March 11th.
In the meantime, state-sanctioned gay marriages will be
allowed beginning in mid- May.
