    I think the fight will very quickly die out. Right now, everybody is reacting to the recent decision. But in a year? Two years? Nobody is going to talk about it. It will just be part of society.

      I hope you're right, but abortion had a similar Supreme Court decision in 1973 and continues to be hindered by new state legislation.

        I think that is because it is a choice that almost everybody makes or is directly affected by. When you are pregnant, you have to make the choice between abortion or not. Gay marriage on the other hand doesn't directly affect the vast majority of the world, and the worst that most people suffer from it is getting an unwanted wedding invitation.

          Haven't you heard? Their god will judge America for "killing babies" but gay marriage will destroy us just like the Greeks and Romans. My mother says so quite vociferously.
