Voters Ban Same-Sex Marriage, Affirmative Action, and Gay Adoption, Reject Abortion Ban


Florida voters amended the state constitution to define marriage in heterosexual terms. So have California and Arizona voters (see here and here). Arkansas has voted to ban adoption and fostering by unmarried individuals, a law that targeted gays and lesbians. Nebraska voters have made affirmative action based on race, ethnicity, sex or national origin illegal in the state. A similar Colorado provision remains too close to call. In a bright spot for liberal issues, South Dakotans have rejected a blatantly unconstitutional abortion restriction.
