A majority of Iowa's lawmakers - 123 of 150 - say they believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
But it's not clear whether those same lawmakers have enough votes to pass a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
It's also not clear whether lawmakers will ever get a chance to vote on the issue.
A Des Moines Sunday Register survey of legislators shows the 100 members of Iowa's House of Representatives are split 50-50 on how they would vote on an amendment to prohibit gay marriage. Of the 50 who would support a constitutional amendment, 45 are co-sponsors of the legislation.
