Election 2008: New Laws in Your State

[Scandia]

Proposition 2 in my state was voted for as YES by a rather narrow margin. What did Proposition 2 state? Something very similar to Proposition 8 in California- limiting marriage to "one man, one woman".

I am NOT happy that such propositions were passed. Forbidding same-sex marriage is not going to make homosexuality or homosexuals go away.

Unfortunately, Amendment 2 did not pass with that narrow of a margin. I believe it received 62% of the vote, while it needed 60% to pass.

Although I'm sickened that Florida passed that stupid amendment, I am more frustrated that Proposition 8 in California passed with only 52% of the vote! If they needed a 60% majority, it wouldn't have made it.
