Republican congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has vowed to fight Amendment 2, Florida's proposed ban on same-sex marriage, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

"We have a big challenge ahead of us," Ros-Lehtinen, a House leader on gay issues, told members of the Miami Log Cabin Republicans Sunday night.

If passed in November, Amendment 2 would ban gay marriage, civil unions, and publicly recognized domestic partnerships, the Herald reported.

"Most [Amendment 2 supporters] would like to frame it as a gay issue," Ros-Lehtinen said. "It's not that at all. Most of the domestic partnerships in Florida are heterosexual." (The Advocate)
