The constitutional amendement was signed by President Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, who at the time said that the amendment didn't change anything as marriage was already defined in civil law as being between a man and a woman, and Parliament could amend the Constitution whenever it wants. She said that the amendment did not give lawmakers free rein to discriminate against gay and lesbian citizens.
