Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.

Arizona law currently prohibits same-sex marriage, and Arizona courts have upheld that ban. Arizona is the only state whose voters rejected a same-sex marriage ban.
Advocates of Proposition 102 say that the Constitution must be amended in order to prevent future court rulings in favor of same-sex marriage.
Opponents of Proposition 102 say that it is a waste of taxpayer money, and that the purpose is to fuel anti-GLBT sentiment.
Read the exact language of Proposition 102, as well as officially posted arguments for the proposition.
