The round up from yesterday's hearing starts with WVa Blue's pre-hearing coverage.  The best part about the piece is the link to Hoppy Kercheval's column where he opposes the amendment:  "I don't think we need a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage, but I do think we could use a crash course in the importance long-term, committed relationships in maintaining healthy, productive families."  Hoppy makes it clear that, while he isn't there on marriage, he supports a civil union type situation.

Today, there is a lot of press.  The Charleston Gazette's Alison Knezevich has front page coverage along some photographs of the packed hearing.  The AP article  by Larry Messina first appeared in the Southern Voice. The Daily Mail's Michelle Saxton is here.  West Virginia Public Broadcasting also has its audio piece along with an article here.  Mannix Porterfield of the Register Herald captured a lot of the hearing.  The State Journal's coverage by Walt Williams is here.

WOWK's story, but not video, is here.

The coverage runs from fairly comprehensive to mildly homophobic, but is generally good.
