Proposition 102 would amend Arizona's constitution to ban same sex marriage.  The controversial proposition has people from both view points voicing their opinion.

Michele Baer, a spokesperson for the group Yes for Marriage, doesn't understand why 102 is controversial.  "Prop 102 is twenty simple and clear words that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman," says Baer.  On the opposite end, Jason Cianciotto, Executive Director of Wingspan, believes 102 is a slap at the gay community "to try to demonize a group of people in our state."
