It could very well be.  Out of committee the proposed amendment has to be approved by a majority of the presbyteries of the denomination.  This is unlikely, but this is getting farther into the heat of the General Assembly than some previous years.

SAN JOSE – A committee is recommending that the 218th General Assembly approve a constitutional amendment to strike from the constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) language that restricts ordination to those who practice fidelity if they are married or chastity if they are single.

Instead, the committee – approving an overture from Boston presbytery – voted 41-11 on June 24 to replace that with a provision that those being called for ordained service “pledge themselves to live lives obedient to Jesus Christ the Head of the Church, striving to follow where he leads through the witness of the Scriptures, and to understand the Scriptures through the instruction of the Confessions. In so doing, they declare their fidelity to the standards of the Church.”

Each governing body examining candidates would need to establish “the candidate’s sincere efforts to adhere to these standards,” the overture states.

The committee also is recommending that the assembly pass an authoritative interpretation declaring that interpretive statements the assemblies of the northern and southern branches of the Presbyterian Church made in 1978 and 1979 regarding homosexuality “and all subsequent affirmations thereof have no further force or effect.”

This is not a new thing and has been under scrunity as “Amendment B” for the past 10 years.  What is new is that other presbyteries than Milwaukee and San Francisco are challenging it and presenting overtures to amend it, or remove it from the Book of Order, the PCUSA constitution.  This could be sign of an increasing trend to change this part of the consitution.
