GAY MARRIAGE: Connecticut Voters Demur on Holding Constitutional Convention to Address Same-sex “Marriage”

[LifeSiteNews] 8 Nov 2008--On Tuesday Connecticut voters decided against holding a convention to amend the state’s constitution, which could have offered marriage supporters a chance to ban same-sex “marriage” from the state. Currently, under a state Supreme Court decision, same-sex “marriages” are set to begin in the state on Nov. 12.

A constitutional convention is permitted in the state every 20 years, and provides an opportunity for delegates to rewrite the state constitution. It was hoped that voters would vote on Tuesday’s ballot to call a convention, and then to amend the constitution to prevent same-sex “marriage.”
