I dont know what you mean by this statement. 46 or 47 state constitutions already state that a marriage is a union between 1 man and 1 woman.
Also, NO state ever has, and never will be, forced to recognize a "marriage" made in one state as valid in their state. Along those lines, in 1996 Clinton signed into law the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA) which specifically prevents one states lawmakers (ie: the much villified "radically liberal" Mass. Courts) from dictating the definition of "marriage" for any other state.
In short, the story you linked and your statement really have nothing to do with one another, which is why the majority vote was not only against the proposed amendment, it was against any further DEBATE on the proposed amendment.
A genuine slam dunk. Just a dirty campaign tactic, shameful too.
