how are they going to know?? how are these business owners, etc, going to know who is gay?

8. It worries me, too. Somehow, though, I feel like

this is the last gasp of a dying mentality in the United States. It's not going to go away in one sweeping change, but I think it's going to go away everywhere, eventually. There will still be those who hate irrationally, but their numbers won't be large enough to dictate policy or laws at some point.

The morons who won't sell a wedding cake or allow an LGBT couple to have a reception in their facility are becoming fewer and fewer in number as time passes. The right-wingers and fundamentalist religious folks are trying desperately to continue their bigotry and ignorance, but things are shifting pretty rapidly today. Pockets of bigotry will continue to exist in places like Kansas and Northern Georgia, along with other places, and right-wingers will continue to push their hatred, but their time is short for that, I believe.

Arizona's a good example. Although the right wing is still winning elections there, the demographics of that state are changing, too, as they are everywhere. It's a last ditch effort we're seeing now. Soon it will have failed everywhere, I'm sure.

For marriage equality, were just one Supreme Court decision away from all marriages having to be recognized in every state, even if that state still manages to disallow people to marry in that state. And Federal Judges are ruling frequently that states can't prohibit marriage equality just because people don't approve of it.

I think we're on the verge. But I think we need to act strongly in 2014 and 2016, and then beyond that, to get younger voters and others who have failed to vote in the past registered and to the polls. If we can do that, the change will accelerate, and this bigotry and hatred won't have a chance to become law.

GOTV 2014 and Beyond!
