Whether or not the recent court decision in California to uphold gay marriage holds through the November ballot, it remains that beyond all arguments, beyond all constitutional amendments, and beyond all religious figures marshaling their faithful masses to oppose it - there will always be homosexual partners completely and utterly devoted to each other. These people will never stop fighting for validation and acceptance as long as they live.
How does that compare to the motivations of those who oppose gay marriage? How drastically would a pro-gay marriage ruling or law change the day-to-day lives of those who now so adamantly oppose it?
Which side of the argument do you think will eventually run out of steam first?
