I doubt it... though it is more or less the perfect law to target.
Since it doesn't actually do anything... it was just a stupid republican ploy to get bush reelected by making gay marriage even more illegalier.
Now if gay marriage gets passed... then i'll be impressed.
Sadly though I actually think gay marriage won't get passed until either
A) There is a moderate Republican/Libretarian president with a Democratic Majority. Trying to "call there bluff" to cost him an election.
B) A Republican group gets gay marriage won through the courts. (Just like don't ask don't tell. Which would still be around if it wasn't for that.)
Really, i don't understand how it isn't ruled unconstiutional... I GUESS under the basis that Marriage (in the legal sense) is essentially not a right but a construction of the state?
However i'm pretty sure there is case law that contradicts that. So really i'm confused.
