The issue of gay marriage has come up in the last few elections. Every time that people have been allowed to vote on the issue, they have voted to make marriage between a man and a woman. In fact, 20 times the issue has been put before people across this country and every time the people have voted to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
This election eight states will be voting on defining a marriage as between a man and a woman. The votes this time around may be closer. It is expected that fewer conservatives will vote in this election.
One of the states in which the vote could be close is in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, marriage would be defined as between a man and a woman. But in addition, the vote will be to ban other civil unions that are “substantially similar” to marriage.
If you were able to vote on a constitutional amendment in your state defining marriage as between a man and a woman, would you vote in favor of the constitutional amendment?
