Marriage resolution: Heated discussion at Capitol on 'one man, one woman' constitutional amendment

The proposed amendment to the state constitution says that "only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage" in Wisconsin. Its second clause prohibits the recognition of a "legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage" for unmarried individuals.
