Utah Constitutional Amendment 3

Utah Constitutional Amendment 3 is an amendment to the Utah state constitution that sought to define marriage as a union exclusively between a man and woman. It passed in the November 2, 2004 election, as did similar amendments in ten other states.

The amendment, which added Article 1, Section 29 to the Utah Constitution, reads:

1. Marriage consists only of the legal union between a man and a woman.
2. No other domestic union, however denominated, may be recognized as a marriage or given the same or substantially equivalent legal effect.

 

 My daughter and went to the Capitol building and joined the rally of Families against gay marriage.  It felt great to stand up with same-minded people and listen to speeches about OUR rights and our constitution and why it SHOULDN'T change.  I love our country and we need to take a stand for our beliefs! I'm so glad I did!
