Gay marriage is banned in Alaska. So, under Article 1, part 1

(This constitution is dedicated to the principles that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the rewards of their own industry; that all persons are equal and entitled to equal rights, opportunities, and protection under the law; and that all persons have corresponding obligations to the people and to the State.)

the equal protection part - gays sued and won. If they cannot get married, it is argued, how can they have equal rights with married co-workers who get benefits for their families?

Easy solution - State pays for employee and the employee pays for any 'dependents' up to - say 5. Everyone pays the same, gayness is not an issue. The vote is just a fig leaf for the gutless pols in Juneau to hide behind IF they try to change the law.

Blech.

I'll go out on a limb and predict the voters tell the Pols to butt out, the proposition will fail.

homosexuals can get married to members of the opposit sex.

Homosexuals want an orgasm clause. They want a guarantee of orgasm based on their selected sexual behavior.
