Marriage amendments passed in all three states in which it was on the ballot. The citizens of Florida, Arizona and California all agree that marriage should be exclusively defined as the union of one man and one woman. This brings the total to 30 states that have now amended their state constitutions to protect marriage.

The decision in California unwinds an earlier State Supreme Court decision which ordered the state to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Activist courts in Massachusetts and Connecticut have also imposed same-sex ‘marriage’ upon the citizens of their states.

Efforts to pass a bill which would allow the citizens of Minnesota to vote on a marriage amendment have been repeatedly defeated in the DFL-controlled state legislature. This has left Minnesota vulnerable to an attempt to legalize same-sex 'marriage' through the courts or a renegade legislature.
