It's a mystery why anti-gay lawyers keep using this tactic, since it's failed in one court after another.

We'll soon have a ruling from the court in Virginia, and then AFER's case will head to appeal and then likely to the Supreme Court. In Utah we'll have a hearing in April and a ruling not long thereafter.
