BostonHerald.com - Election 2004 Coverage: Gay marriage banned in 11-for-11 state sweep
correct me if i’m wrong, but i think this brings the total to 18 states that have passed amendments reinforcing the unique status of traditional marriage.
In a resounding, coast-to-coast rejection of gay marriage, voters in 11 states approved constitutional amendments yesterday limiting marriage to one man and one woman.
The amendments won, often by huge margins, in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Utah and Oregon - the one state where gay-rights activists hoped to prevail. The bans won by a 3-to-1 margin in Kentucky and Georgia, 3-to-2 in Ohio, and6-to-1 in Mississippi.
“This issue does not deeply divide America,” said conservative activist Gary Bauer. “The country overwhelmingly rejects same-sex marriage, and our hope is that both politicians and activist judges will read these results and take them to heart.” [link]
