Thanks. I got the two efforts conflated in my mind and thought that a Constitutional amendment had been passed.

As statute, even one passed by the voters themselves and not the Legislature, it can be held unconstitutional. An amendment would not suffer that same vulnerability.

Yep! Limiting gay special rights. We are now a lawless society.
