New Measure Would Legalize Gay Marriage in Navajo Nation

A new piece of legislation could legalize gay marriage in the Navajo Nation. And did you know that they still adhere to a law banning same sex marriage that was approved by the Navajo Nation Council in 2005. So the nation which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah is not subject to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage across the US. Now in June Council delegate Seth Demon introduced a new bill that would repeal the ban in a statement to NBC news. The Navajo Nation President said he supports overturning the ban. The bill faces a committee vote next Thursday, September 28th and if it advances, then it will go before the full tribal council in October.
