I have not "cheered" it. I have problems with the amendment as it was written. However, I do support it over the worse alternative.
I have consistently maintained - in my history here at subsim - that the state shouldn't be involved in marriage at all. The fact that it is however is reality - so if its going to be involved, I would rather see it protect what is a religious action as religion dictates it is rather than force religion to adapt to whatever standard is "fair, right and good" in the eyes of the state. Protecting religious freedom by NOT dictating what religion must say on this issue is more important to me than the "rights" of a few to get to call their shared lives by some term with a piece of paper.
