Also this had done more to hurt gay rights then help, as now states across the country are working to put gay marriage bans into their constitution to prevent such actions. The numbers are on their side as well, even liberal states like Massachusetts, which has elected the most liberal senators year after year the US has been subjected to, can't decide if they should have a total ban, or a ban on gay marriage but allow civil unions.

And as I said, unless the full faith and credit clause and equal protections clause get repealed AND a marriage amendment is inserted into the US constitution,
(these all have to be done because a marriage amendment will contradict the wording of those two other parts of the constitution) States can pass gay marriage bans to their hearts content. As long as ONE state allows gay marriage, every state has to recognize them.
So if only one state allows gay marriage, that state will become the gay tourism capital of the United States. Everyone flocks there, (spends billions in tourism dollars) gets married and goes home content that they will be required to be recognized.
