States That May Ban Gay Marriage in the Future

There are various legislations in the works to ban gay marriage in several states in the future. These states would have a gay marriage amendment in their constitutions, explicitly stating that gay marriage is unconstitutional. This is a more drastic move than amending marriage legislation to state that marriage is between opposite-sex partners only. In 2007, Minnesota and North Carolina may re-introduce legislation for a gay marriage amendment that has so far failed in the state's Senate. California, Iowa, Indiana, Florida and Massachusetts have legislation up for consideration in 2008, and Pennsylvania in 2009.
