The issue will exist and continue to be a factionalizing and destabilizing force in society no matter how hard you want to wish it away, until one side or the other wins a permanent victory. Because it is an issue on which there is no imaginable compromise that will satisfy both sides. You can’t “split the baby in half” on this one, to use a perhaps not so tasteful but very appropriate analogy.
Which is why I asked you about slavery, which you never answered, because that is the most prominent other issue of this type which had previously split our society in just the same way, for decades, until we finally achieved a permanent resolution at great cost. Just like slavery, you can’t wish this issue away, no matter how much you think it would be politically expedient.
