I'll probably end up voting for it just to piss everyone off because I am tired of hearing everyone complaining about it.

You are going to vote for it because it's an issue people feel strongly about?  I really hope you aren't serious.

Eh, I voted for John Kasich because Strickland's ads were over-the-top and had too much hyperbole about Kasich "getting rich on Wall Street" by selling mutual funds in Columbus. One of my best friends went to vote for Obama but changed his mind standing in line because the girl in front of him was annoying him and an Obama supporter. Irritating supporters don't always help their cause.

It's certainly not the best reason to vote on something, though, particularly ballot initiatives about specific issues.

No, of course not. But a decent segment of the voting population is mildly indifferent on many of the issues they vote on, so what do you expect?

As for the actual issue, I would think this should fall fairly close to a vote on whether or not gay marriage should be legal since the point of amending the constitution is to prevent the state supreme court from ruling gay marriage legal (see Iowa). Of course I would vote for it but that shouldn't surprise anyone here.
