Wyoming set to tighten marriage laws, but may consider civil unions

The Wyoming Legislature looks set to approve a bill that would keep the state from recognizing out-of-state marriages or civil unions of same-sex couples. However, some state lawmakers who oppose marriage rights for gays and lesbians say they could support a civil unions bill. 

"I'm getting a stronger sense that civil unions will pass," said Rep. Dan Zwonitzer (pictured), a Republican who supports full marriage rights.
