Like abortion, this won't be a political decision, but a judicial decision. Since there's not ANYWHERE near the support for an Amendment, that's off the table.

Eventually, probably sooner rather than later, the Supremes will hear one of these cases, and it (homosexual marriage) will become the law of the land, again just like abortion. From then on, it will only be talked about during election season, and only in campaign fund-raising letters, political rallies and conventions - again, just like abortion.

Homosexual marriage does fail at the ballot box. But, it only fails at the ballot box because blacks and Latinos vote against it, pretty overwhelmingly. Unfortunately, those exact same blacks and Latinos ONLY vote for pro-homosexual politicians who nominate or confirm pro-homosexual judges and justices.

That's just the practical political reality. Eventual homosexual marriage in America is as predictable as death and taxes

Wrong.

As far as I'm concerned, marriage is a good hill to die on. We need to defend the institution, or go down trying. If the homos get their way, they'll be after your kids and grandkids in short order.

That's either hopeless defeatism (note my tagline), or the attempt to lower others' morale on purpose.

I don't care which one it is. Someone with that attitude either needs to get some spine or some morals.

In my opinion, this is right as a political prediction of the near-term. The long-term branches in two extremes from that, though, and looks different from abortion politics. Either the opposition to gay marriage rouses itself to something like the political revolution necessary to overcome the judicial mandates, or the establishment's profound support for gay marriage (seeing it as an affirmative good rather than, as with abortion, a necessary evil) makes anti-gay-marriage sentiment impermissable as open racism is now for anyone who wants to have a job that pays more than minimum wage, to say the least of seek public office in any party.
