It's probably not going to pass. Every time people vote on gay marriage dircetly, it's illegal. All six states were made by court decisions, except NY which wasn't voted on.

New Hampshire, Vermont were through the Legislature.

Thanks. The point still stands, though. (Everytime the people dirctly vote, it fails.)

Wasn't CT also a legislative vote, too?

But, yes, everytime this goes before the general electorate, a majority of heterosexual voters decline to extend their protections to same-sex couples.

The Seattle Times's definition of "bold" seems to be "supported by fewer than 55% of state voters."

Let's factor in how much that number melts away when people actually vote...
