A constitution should be a constitution. A guide for who society lives. There is NOTHING wrong with memorializing a millenia's worth of history into black letter law.

As an incorporation of common law, it will recieve broad interpritation and protection. Adopting this WILL send the right message to judges.

Where do you get your talking point, from the Human Rights Coalition or some other homosexual group?

Let's go back in history for a moment here. Had the framers of the constitution put in, say, what age people were permitted to be married, how different would today's society be? When the constitution was written, 35 years old was really old. If you went back in time and told them that the average person could look forward to reaching 70 years of age, they would have laughed at you. What if they had put in a limit of four horses for transport? The modifications made today will likely still be there two hundred years from now. Do you want to imagine what changes in society might occur over that time?

Roe v Wade - how does this proposed amendment handle that issue? Sodomy being a right? The separation of powers must be reestablished, not a new bandaid put on a wound that is going to open up time and time again.
