I have a question for the legal eagles among us.
What happens to the validity of the several thousand gay marriages that have already taken place if the gay marriage ban becomes law?
Are there any ex-post-facto ramifications?

Our local news stated that this amendment would not affect current "marriages".

I suppose the ex-post-facto ramifications will continue no matter what they decide to do on the hill.

From what I have read, the amendment that would have nullified them failed. The one they are voting now to reconsider, would allow them to stay.

I think it depends on the wording of the new amendment. If it's not retroactive, then gays with marriage certificates might remain a small and privileged class for life. (I'm wildly guessing here...)
