A proposed amendment to enshrine the right to marry, regardless of the spouses' gender, in the Delaware Constitution failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed to pass the House of Representatives.
The proposed amendment, sponsored by State Sen. Russ Huxtable (D-Lewes), passed the State Senate on a 16-5 vote on June 10. It marked the first step in the lengthy process of amending the constitution to declare that marriage is "a fundamental right that may not be denied or abridged on the basis of gender," as well as race, color, national origin, or sex.

According to a Sandusky Police Department report, a security officer was flagged down by a Cedar Point guest, a transgender woman, who said she and a transgender friend were preparing to leave the park when a man approached her friend from behind, grabbed her skirt and underwear, and pulled them down, exposing her buttocks and genitals.
