6. It now opens it up for a federal challenge, though.
If the state allows gay marriages that happened before November 4, 2008 to stand but no new gay marriages, it fails the 14th amendment test of equal protection under the law.

7. Yeah. Gay marriage is banned....except for 18,000 couples.
Opens the door to more challenges, IMO.
