(AgapePress) - A Massachusetts pro-family activist says it's a foregone conclusion that state lawmakers will vote down a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex "marriage" but allow homosexual civil unions.

Lawmakers in the Bay State will decide today (Wednesday) whether the compromise amendment will be placed on the 2006 ballot. The amendment was put together in response to a decision by the state's Judicial Supreme Court in May 2004 to legalize homosexual marriage.
According to conservative activist Brian Camenker with the group Article 8 Alliance, the amendment was never popular in the first place. It was panned, he says, by both conservatives and pro-homosexual activists.
