Hm. That doesn't match what I saw on TV. What I saw on TV was that an amendment to the state constitution was passed. And it was passed by the Senate, not that it was passed by the House tonight but the Senate earlier.

I think we have two different things here.

This just was posted, middle of the article:

Gay couples and supporters descended on the Capitol, waving signs -- "End the Legislative Session Hate Free" -- in an unsuccessful to keep the Senate from approving a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. The Senate returned the bill to the House for further consideration. If approved there, it will be on the November ballot.

Legislators already had sent Walker the Marriage Recognition Policy, which would put the gay marriage ban in state law. Walker hasn't said whether she'll sign it. The governor has no say on constitutional amendments.

Yes. There was a law passed which will be sent to gov Walker, and the Senate approved a constitutional amendment which has to be passed by the house then sent to the voters.
