Nebraska Marriage Amendment

Here is the text of the Amendment, Nebraska Constitution (art. I, sec. 29) , which I helped draft:


Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska. The uniting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership, or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in Nebraska.

Neb. Const. art. I, sec. 29 (2000);
Adopted 2000, Initiative Measure No. 416.

Is this Nebraska Amendment constitutional under the 14th Amendment?
