Same-sex marriage and domestic partnerships did not fare well at the polls on Nov.7. Same-sex marriage was on the ballot in eight states seeking to ban same-sex marriage and/or domestic partnerships. Seven states approved a ban on same-sex marriage: Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The only state that defeated a proposed ban was Arizona.
The recent elections came merely two weeks after the Supreme Court of New Jersey ruled on same-sex marriages in Lewis v. Harris, 2006 N.J. LEXIS 1521 (2006).
