"Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional marriage amendment Nov. 8, but Maine citizens voted to keep a new "gay rights" law and Californians rejected a proposal requiring teens to notify a parent before getting an abortion.
The vote in Texas made it the 19th state to adopt a constitutional marriage amendment, and it passed with ease, winning by a margin of 76-24 percent. Homosexual activists had poured their resources into the state, hoping to pull a stunning upset in a very conservative area of the country. The amendment protects the natural definition of marriage, banning both "gay marriage" and Vermont-style civil unions. A marriage amendment has never lost at the ballot."- Michael Foust, Baptist Press, Nov. 9. 2005
