On July 16th, the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary of the West Virginia legislature will have a public hearing to " to study the issue of a constitutional amendment to prohibit the state from recognizing same sex marriages." (See HCR 88 and an April press release by the Family Council of West Virginia; HCR 88 provides the authority for the hearing.) The West Virginia House of Delegates has recently voted against a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
