Will the U.S. Constitution be amended to stop gay marriage?
The American people overwhelmingly disagree with amending our Constitution a cherished document written to protect and ensure equal treatment for all Americans for such a discriminatory purpose. According to a September 2003 ABCNews Poll, only 20 percent of Americans favor a constitutional ban on marriages for same-sex couples; 33 percent oppose such marriages but wouldn’t amend the Constitution; and 37 percent would make them legal.
