Five Idaho senators switched their votes from last year and the Senate endorsed a proposed amendment to the Idaho Constitution to ban gay marriage.

The proposal will be on the November ballot, where it will need a simple majority to pass.

After about three years of lobbying and two hours of debate, the 35-member Senate finally endorsed the proposal with the two-thirds majority needed to place the amendment on the ballot.

Gay marriage already is against the law in Idaho. This proposal would change the constitution, which supporters say is needed in case a court ever rules against Idaho’s law.
