I don't know about the other states, but the Virginia amendment specificaly precludes the granting of civil unions, domestic partnerships, or any other relationship that seeks to simulate the rights and obligations of marriage, in addition to defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. That actualy means that straights can't get a civil union or domestic partnership either, but, of course, they can get "married" and gays can't.
