Our elected officials voting to forever ban gay marriage and the rights that would come from civil unions with a constitutional ammendment is akin to voting against the civil rights act.
I could never in good conscience bring myself to vote for a single one of them, ever.

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.

That is the proposed amendment. "legal incidents thereof" is the part of the amendment that will block gay couples from gaining any benefits whatsoever from being joined. No co-insurance, no co-adopt, no hospital rights, no tax benefits.
It really is, and I don't use this word much. It's reserved for special occasions,
