1. I think the Talibornagains might secede first
So maybe not all 50 States.

2. Yes, but not in the next 20 years, sadly.
I really, really hope I am wrong, but in ALL 50 states? Not anytime soon.

4. I'd give it 35 years
Before gay marriage is legal in all states.

The age group in power is 55-65yo. Ask any 20yo about gay marriage - I'd bet the overwhelming majority is for it. By the time they get into power, gay marriage will be legal in all states.

6. Yes
I think it is going to take some more liberal states allowing it and when the sky doesn't fall it will all come into place.

7. Of course not, you sissy-boy.
You and your ilk will be hunted down and eradicated as soon as Lord George* TAKES his fourth term.

9. Within the next ten years IF
Big IF here
* doesn't steal the WH again and pack the SCOTUS with far rw judges.

I really believe that the first case to make it to the SCOTUS will legalize gay marriage nationwide. Partly I'm sure of this because the wingnuts are sure of it - otherwise they wouldn't be trying for such a poisonous amendment.

10. Now that the "genie is out of the bottle", so to speak (Massachussettes)
...it's inevitable. Assuming the fascists currently occupying the government are removed.

11. No way. The issue might be moot if they find a cure.
There coiuld be some sci-fi genetic cure for homosexuality by then, so it might be a moot issue.

Otherwise, I dont see it.
