Utah
In 2004, as discriminatory constitutional amendments were on the ballot in numerous states throughout the nation, Utah citizens voted for an anti-marriage and anti-relationship recognition constitutional amendment which passed and wrote discrimination into Utah's constitution. State advocacy groups are working to both repeal such discrimination and end the exclusion of same-sex couples and their families from marriage.
