We are always fighting off propositions to have constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. In many locales voters have voted to define marriage as between one man and one woman within their state constitutions.
What about a fight to amend the state constitutions to allow for marriage equality? If it loses, we lose nothing. If it wins it would be unprecedented and make world history. It would be the first time voters decided to grant marriage rights to all couples.
Do you think this could work anywhere, if so, where? Why aren't there efforts by pro-equality forces engaging in these tactics? Is there a state or country where voters are most likely to vote to approve same-sex marriage and on what basis?

Rock the Queer Vote
"If you don't vote you don't have the right to complain" and we here at Queers United sure have a lot of complaining to do. LGBT people are not given the same marriage rights, adoption rights, the right to serve openly, protection under hate crimes legislation and employment non-discrimination. We are in the middle of a civil rights battle and we must demand equal rights. Your vote is our voice as a community, speak up be heard and vote for queer-positive politicians and referendums.
There are only a few days left, make sure to register to vote!
