The tide is turning

Arizona became the first state to REJECT a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage! Sweeping success for Democrats in all house races. The Senate is still in play!


Democrats Capture House, Arizona Becomes First State To Reject Gay-Marriage Ban Amendment

Twenty-six states have passed amendments to their constitutions to block same-sex couples from marrying. On Tuesday proposed amendments were on the ballot in eight states.

The victory in Arizona comes after a tough fight by Arizona Together, a group formed to oppose the amendment.

"This outcome speaks volumes about Arizona’s commitment to families,” said Kyrsten Sinema, chair of Arizona Together.

"Arizona voters saw through Prop 107’s rhetoric and knew that the intent of 107 was to take away domestic partner benefits from thousands of Arizona families."
