Indiana constitutional ban on gay marriage won't be on the ballot until 2012 at the earliest.
The reasons given are lame - no need to amend the Constitution...its already against the law - but it's about the best I can expect in good old Indiana.

"This really is a very simple decision," Pelath said. "The reality is, we have no gay marriages in Indiana. It is against the law. Nobody has brought me evidence of a gay marriage taking place in this state.

"There's no reason to put very poorly crafted verbiage into our constitution, out state's highest document, that could potentially be a lawyer's dream with all sorts of unintended consequences."
