Nebraska recognizes same-sex marriage by accident

Color blind?” Schumacher said, advocating the inclusion of same-sex couples in the state’s exemption. “What great evil would come from saying a partner of somebody in the military … is entitled to exercise their Second Amendment rights to carry a concealed weapon in this state?”

Schumacher is an opponent of same-sex marriage, but a strong supporter of gun rights. After he voiced his support, the amendment passed 38-0.

State Sen. John Murante did not vote on the measure. When it passed, he voiced concern that the amendment could be used by same-sex marriage activists to overturn the state’s same-sex marriage law.
