AS is on the beat:
The amendment would change Florida's constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, so that marriage cannot be defined in ways that the Bible forbids, and so that marriages and families can be protected by state law.
The push to quickly find a social dividing line probably coincides with a worry that the State may bust out of mean-Red in 2008.
As best I recall, Florida was among the early states to attack adoption for gay couples, who are probably the parents most likely to be consciously prepared for child rearing (no gay couple ever had an 'accidental' birth, that I know of).
