Lynch: I Haven't Looked at Gay Marriage Bill

By Josh Rogers on Thursday, April 30, 2009.

Governor says his exclusive focus at the moment is swine flu, and that he’ll read senate-backed same-sex marriage bill in the next few days.

Governor Lynch says his exclusive focus at the moment is swine flu, and that he’s not yet reviewed the senate-endorsed same sex marriage bill.

“I haven’t read the amendment yet and I’m really here talking about the swine flu. That’s all I’m going to focus on now. “

-Do you have any sense when you’re going to read it?

“You know, over the next several days I’m sure.”

Senate Democratic leaders say they give the Governor a copy of their proposal Wednesday morning, prior to the senate session. With top House Democrats eager reach agreement with the Senate, a gay marriage measure is likely headed for the Governor’s desk. Lynch has repeatedly said he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, and long declined to say whether he’d sign or veto a same sex marriage bill.
