WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) - The president of the Navajo Nation vetoed a measure Sunday that would have banned same-sex marriage on the Indian reservation.
The Tribal Council voted unanimously last month to pass legislation that restricts a recognized union to a relationship between a man and a woman, and prohibits plural marriages as well as marriages between close relatives.
Supporters said the goal was to promote Navajo family values and preserve the sanctity of marriage.
