52. Those states may think that's kosher, but I doubt it.
Even if it is kosher (to prohibit judges from interpreting specific laws), DOMA itself is unconstitutional.

As to the OP, separate but equal is not acceptable. It has to be either marriage for everyone, or civil unions for everybody, going forward from some set point in the future, grandfathering in everyone who TO THAT POINT has gotten married.

How long would it take homophobes to disown, abuse and sort of ghettoize a similar-sounding, separate institution, members of which they hate? Ha, not long.
