For the Record - June 20, 2008

Legality of gay marriage: An article in Wednesday’s Section A about television coverage of same-sex marriages said that California voters had approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage sometime in the last four years. California voters passed Proposition 22, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman, in 2000, but it was not a constitutional amendment. A proposal to amend the state Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman will be on the Nov. 4 ballot.
