Wisconsin Voters will decide definition of marriage

.
Wisconsin legislators have turned to the registered voters, allowing them to make a constitutional amendment regarding the definition of a legal marriage recognized by the state.

On Nov. 7, registered voters will choose whether or not two sentences will be added to the constitution.

The Wisconsin Legislative Council proposes to amend it by adding the following provision: “Section 13 of article XIII of the constitution is created to read: [Article XIII] Section 13. 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.” [snip] Hudson Star Observer
