(CPOD) Apr. 7, 2004 - Many South Dakotans want to modify the United States Constitution to ban wedlock for same-sex partners, according to a poll by Zogby International released by KOTA-TV. 63.2 per cent of respondents support an amendment that would define marriage as the union between a man and a woman, while 31.8 per cent disagree.

On Feb. 24, U.S. president George W. Bush asked the U.S. Congress to enact an amendment that would define marriage as the union between a man and a woman.

Marriage certificates have been issued to same-sex couples in the states of California, Oregon, New Mexico and New York. This past November, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the state's constitution must offer gay and lesbian partners the possibility of getting married.
