This November, Florida voters will vote on Amendment 2, which seeks to amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man
and a woman only and prohibit recognition of any other legal union that is the “substantial equivalent” of marriage. Florida law already prohibits recognition of marriages by gay or lesbian couples—the proposed amendment would write that discriminatory ban into the constitution and its broad wording would also ban civil unions and likely domestic partnerships as well.

One positive factor: supporters of the amendment need to garner 60% of the vote this November in order to pass Amendment 2. Recent polling suggests that the vote will be very close—57% were found to support Amendment 2, with 36% opposed.

Two campaigns, SayNo2 and Fairness for All Families have formed to oppose the discriminatory amendment.
