GAY RIGHTS

California, exit polls and partial returns suggested a close race on a high-profile measure that would ban gay marriage � the first time such a vote has taken place in state where such unions are legal. Three other states enacted measures to curtail the rights of same-sex couples.

MARIJUANA
| Quote: |
| Elsewhere, the marijuana reform movement won two prized victories, with Massachusetts voters decriminalizing possession of small amounts of the drug and Michigan joining 12 other states in allowing use of pot for medical purposes. |
