Many commentators have pointed out that these states' constitutional changes are largely symbolic measures after the US Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in its 2015 Obergefell v.

California, Colorado, and Hawaii have not redefined marriage but rather done away with a definition altogether. Colorado has nixed its constitutional provision that "Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state."

Critics have denounced the amendments not only for defying the truth of marriage and promoting the harm of children through same-sex couple adoption. Jonathan Keller, president of the California Family Council, warned that California's amendment could potentially open the door to polygamy and child marriage.
