National Attention Focused on Proposed Same-Sex Marriage Ban in Wisconsin

"With polls showing that Wisconsin could become the first state in the nation where voters reject a proposed amendment banning same-sex marriage Focus on the Family, one of the country's most anti-gay organizations, has entered that battleground. The proposed amendment to the state constitution would bar same-sex marriage, civil unions and possibly be used to deny partner benefits.
