DOMA was unconstitutional, yet it was on the books and in effect for 17 years before the Supreme Court finally struck it down.
Rafael's bill will never pass or survive a veto, but in the hypothetical event that it did, it could be on the books and enforced for years before it was stricken. At which point the same caucus would just submit a replacement bill with slightly altered language. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. The merry-go-round would finally end when the bigots, like the segregationists of an earlier generation, were finally thrown out of office.
I don't think that anything like this scenario will actually play out. It is unlikely that the bigots will get anything more on the books before the public ceases to even listen to them. The homophobic bigots are clearly on the run now and trying desperately to stay ahead of the massive wave that is surging toward them.

Reasonable GOP legislators must be very upset with Ted's contemptuous bigot-baiting.

Judge Roy Moore and Ted Cruz ought to get married now that it is legal.
... and Canada breathes a sigh of relief ....
We can assume that Ted will not be Cruz-ing gay bars in the near future.

Ted Cruz is constantly one-upping himself when it comes to doing stupid stuff...
