U.S. Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia's Seventh District sponsored this bill that defines in strictly heterosexual terms the words "marriage" and "spouse" and provides that no state shall be required to give effect to a law with respect to same-sex "marriage." The bill is in direct response to Hawaii's consideration of same-sex marriage as explained in the analysis preceding the text of the bill.
