I believe it will be the law of the land within this decade. We will then see nongovernmental employers dumping employee health insurance even faster than they are now. Gay relationships appear more volitile, already overburdened divorce sourts will be more so. There will be other unintended consequences, a higher rate of domestic violence recorded, for instance. My experience as a retired LEO tells me that gay relationships already have a higher rate of DV than straight marriages but the patrol officers just put the majority of those cases down as an ordinary fight, keeping them out of the already overburdened DV systems. Of course, my life's work may have me off base, here. Nobody calls us when a couple is having a nice quiet evening in front of the TV. We get called when things go bad. Without getting into a long argument about statistics or 'profiling' it's my experience that things go bad at a higher rate among some segments of the population. I have no informed opinion why, I could hazard guesses but I've already pissed a bunch of folks off, I fear. I suspect that gay marriage is a bad idea who’s time is come.

Haven't some people tried that w/ VT and the civil unions? And on the topic, I saw a story in today's Boston Globe (likely a wire story) that a NJ court ruled against same-sex marriage I’ve heard that that is part of a plan.
