Arizona: First State to Reject Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment
What a night we had here in Oregon and across the county. Victories all over the place.
Out of the eight constitutional amendments on the ballots of voters in those states, all passed but one. Arizona.
From 365gay.com:
The victory in Arizona comes after a tough fight by Arizona Together, a group formed to oppose the amendment.
"This outcome speaks volumes about Arizona's commitment to families," said Kyrsten Sinema, chair of Arizona Together.
"Arizona voters saw through Prop 107's rhetoric and knew that the intent of 107 was to take away domestic partner benefits from thousands of Arizona families."
Voters in Virginia, Wisconsin, South Carolina, South Dakota, Idaho, Tennessee and Colorado, however approved amending their constitutions to ban same-sex marriage.
