PHOENIX — The last legal fight over the ballot wording of the gay-marriage amendment is over.

Attorney Peter Gentala on Wednesday quietly dropped the lawsuit he filed the day before to limit what information voters are given on the ballot for Proposition 102.

That measure, if approved, would put a provision in the state constitution defining marriage as solely between one man and one woman.

Gentala, attorney for the Center for Arizona Policy, said that's the only fact that should be explained to voters. He specifically did not want the explanation to point out that same-sex marriage already is against the law, although that is not part of the constitution.

Gentala filed his own suit Tuesday after a judge refused to let him intervene in a separate lawsuit filed last week by Secretary of State Jan Brewer against Attorney General Terry Goddard. Brewer, who is legally responsible for preparing the explanation, was unhappy that Goddard would not approve a description without mention of the existing law.

The pair settled their differences out of court on Tuesday — but not to the satisfaction of Gentala's organization, which lobbied to get the Legislature to put the proposal on the ballot.

On Wednesday, Gentala withdrew the case. He said he still believes the wording is unfair and is designed to convince voters that Proposition 102 is unnecessary. But he said the wording is better now than it was before.
