it dosent say anything about gay marriage. There is no qualifier.
it clearly bans the state from recognizing any contract related to marriage.
It says "marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman," and "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
So there's only marriage, as defined, and no new (created) or adopted (recognized) status is allowed.
So, what's the problem, again?
