Constitutionality.: Prohibition against recognizing same-sex unions as entitled to the benefits of marriage was not ‘‘dissimilar and discordant’’ to the objective of reserving the status of marriage and its attendant benefits exclusively to unions of man and woman; Ga. Const. 1983, Art. I, Sec. IV, Para. I did not violate the multiple-subject matter rule. Perdue v. O’Kelley, 280 Ga. 732, 632 S.E.2d 110 (2006).
