Connecticut's Measure 1 called for a Constitutional Convention that could have been used to ban gay-marriage. Measure 1 only got about 39% of the vote. Connecticut and Massachusetts retain gay-marriage.
MMMMmmmmmmm no. Thats not what the measure would have done at all.
Well, the anti gay-marriage people were campaigning for Measure 1 in the hopes that if it passed they could somehow change the Constitution to ban gay-marriage. Of course Connecticut makes it a lot harder to change the Constitution than California.
Conservatives ran for offices here in Connecticut, doesnt mean anything would have been done to ban gay marriage. Even if the measure had passed, nothing like that would have happened. It would just be allowing the people to choose what the GA would have been voting on. The only way anything like that would have made any form of ban on gay marriage would be a huge conservative republican wave in the GA. If it had passed (I did not vote for measure 1, but I did vote for measure 2), it would have been stopped.
