2. Go to FAIR Wisconsin for more info:

This not just legislation....State Constitutional Amendment the cons have been fighting to get on the ballot for two years.

The Language:

"Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state."

A FAIR Wisconsin Votes NO!

We do not want the State constitution amended with this awful language.

Not only does this amendment effect same sex couples...(who it was directly targeted at) But stupidly the Republican state house and senate also knocked down ANY thing that resemebled a marriage. Not simply between same sex couples. It forces marriage on unmarried heterosexual partners. It opens the door for denail of health benefits. It forces cohabitating seniors to live without common law recognition or shared benefits.

Why the ban must be voted down:
