Do you think within the gay marriage will be legal in all states in the next 10 years?

Question

I really want to see it happen in my lifetime, do you think it will be?

Note to Jesusloves I believe in God also. Have you ever heard of "not a dove falls from the sky without God knowing" so if you really do believe in God you'll know that he made us ALL & accepts us ALL

Answer 1

Blacks and whites weren't even allowed to marry when they finally got rid of slavery. Everything just takes time. I think the real hold up os the fact that if the government allows gay marriage then taxes and all that get filed differently which they lose money on, all the rights that go along with being married (like life support) are putting more money into the pockets of the lawyers. So it's all just a big cycle that too many people are getting money from, so until it comes to an even bigger head than it is, it won't happen. But then again I'm paying for social security that won't be around when I'm old... I think this generation is the one that's going to have to reform the government because it is way too full of itself. There is no more "for the people" it's all just "for the money".

Answer 2

Well, we were on a roll prior to the current administration. Its quite likely that a democrate will be elected this time, its rare that one party would hold the office for 12 years. That being said it may be viewed that Kerry's support of equal rights lost him the election and therefore dems may be less likely to voice their opinions and we may be dumped by the party we've been raising money to support. I doubt it will happen in ten years, progress is slow. I would say 15 - 20.

Answer 3

They are being denied social security benefits, health insurance coverage for spouse, inheritance benefits as well a marriage certificate. Is that what God wants for two people whose only mistake was to meet and fall in love? More and more states are beginning to question this, so I believe there is hope for our gay friends .

Answer 4

An older era antagonistic to homosexuality is loss of life off, leaving a youthful era that's plenty greater open to the assumption, and greater suited knowledgeable as to sexual orientation. jointly as i'm happy approximately that, and sense stable relating to the prospect of universal acceptance and criminal secure practices for comparable-intercourse relationships over the subsequent era, i think of awaiting such seismic substitute (gay marriage in all states) in purely ten years is a tad bit over-useful. increasing the criminal protections absolute to gay and lesbian human beings is something to proceed to artwork and combat for.

Answer 5

I would set the more realistic time at 30-35 years. Things are slow to change, the law is largely reactionary, but things are changing faster than they did in the past.

Answer 6

I think 10 years is too fast unless the Supreme Court says otherwise. I don't see that being terribly likely with the current court. It will happen thought because kids in school now say they care less and less about whether someone is gay.

Answer 7

Marriage is just a business, yeah it will be legal within ten years

Answer 8

10 years... yes, I'm very optimistic about it. And some other nations will start their own debate and follow suit!

Keep on the good fight!

Answer 9

One step at a time

One state at a time

If it takes civil unions first then so be it

but WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Answer 10

I don't think it will, though I really want it to. It is not fair to people who have different thoughts on things; who prefer different people. I really hope it will.
