For a fairly liberal (but definitely variable) state, that seems about right. What does that mean?

A ban on gay MARRIAGE would likely pass and be written into the constitution. (I think it would pass in all 50 states, 9 of 10 Canadian provinces if the vote came up and most Western countries)

A deeper legislation banning civil unions as well would have a harder time passing. It would be a squeaker...it may only come up with 45% or so.

Something WILL happen though, and it won't be legal gay marriage. (Massachusetts was a fluke, I don't think it will stay there forever)
