Ahhh but you don't understand. If one state allows it the others will be forced by the courts to recognize is too. Also, let's get our elected officials on record for what they stand for. Maybe it fails this time. However, might help in the ballot box to make sure it passes next time.

From Section 2 of H.R. 3396, the Defense of Marriage Act:
"No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship."

As someone has pointed out on this thread already, no court has even considered ruling the DOMA unconstitutional, nor, in my opinion, will they.
