Kansas House advances bill to deny same-sex couples social services

Kansas businesses, individuals and government employees could refuse an array of social services and benefits to same-sex couples based on "sincerely held religious beliefs" under a bill approved on Wednesday by state House of Representatives. Kansas is among 33 U.S. states that ban same-sex marriage, and the bill would address same-sex couples legally married in other states. The Kansas House voted 72 to 49 to advance the bill to the majority Republican state Senate for consideration. In Kansas on Wednesday, representatives voted on the measure with little discussion.
