But if what happened in the past three years is a predictor of what may happen in 2007, red state activists may once again find themselves bogged down in fending off a flurry of anti-gay bills.

"They have not had a chance to breathe on pro-gay bills because so much of their time is used on fighting anti-gay bills."
