In 30 years gay marriage will be common place. It was just 40 years ago that homosexuality was never mentioned publicly except in police blotters. Today the acceptance of gays grows more prevalent all the time. Kids born in the last 20 years probably wonder what the Big Deal about gay marriage is all about and those same kids will be the lawmakers of the future.

In 1890, people were saying the same things about women voting that they're saying about gay marriage today. It would "tear apart the fabric of society".

In 1940 the idea that blacks and whites should be integrated was considered unimaginable and if it ever happened it would surely, "tear apart the fabric of society".

In 1910 if a doctor had said he had done a successful heart transplant he would have been dragged out and hung, along with his patient, for an act so heinous that it "defiled the very fabric of society".

Times change, people change... and the fabric of society reconfigures and all in all things end up better than they were before.
