I'm just wondering how fast you guys think the process of legalizing gay marriage will be in the United States.

Hopefully at least a few more. There was a vote not long ago here in WA to overturn the act that defines marriage as only being between a man and a woman and it was just narrowly upheld (the vote was 5-4). Hopefully, by 10 years something will have gone through. I doubt there will be very many though.

I don't imagine the bullwark against Gay Marriage will hold up through the next Democratic Presidency. In 10 years the States that still oppose Gay Marriage will be hold-outs. I'm guessing 45-51. Depending on how many US states we have in North Africa.

Very hard to say, it's going to be a long hard fight. What it's going to come down to is forcing a separation of Church and State issues. Many continue to claim that Marriage is a Religious rite, if so the Government has no right to recognise it as having any legal standing, if it is secular then they must make it available to all who mal legally do so regardless of their gender.

this is all a matter of separation of church and state. as i have stated b4, most, not all, republicans base their political affiliation with religion. i still don't understand how this can happen. a couple can marry with a judge, no religious stuff intended, in a court room, like my parents did. i still don't understand why gay people can't. Hopefully, some day, soon, gay people, men, or women, can. the people who are opposing it are also opposing the separation of church and state. we will never get past this point in our lives but, i believe it is against our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. just put Bill Clinton back in Office. Who cares about what he did? I don't agree with cheating but, he knew how to run this country.

Be positive - perhaps there'll be a federal decision taken to afford gay marriages the same rights across all the States. Perhaps, by then, Europe (or at least the EU) won't allow distinction in marital status for gay couples across National borders...
...aim high!

it quite is sounds merely approximately precisely like what I reported in my debate in college. I completely agree! there is not something incorrect with gay marriage and there is not something incorrect with gays. that is stated as progression, human beings! What befell to "liberty and justice for all?" you're appropriate, we are risk-free by ability of the form. that is in hassle-free terms a shame that the the remainder of the international is blind and conceited.
