Predictions for U.S. after all States legalize same-sex marriage...

[MysticSang'ha]

Here's some of mine...

1) We will see a surge of "Straight Rights Groups" who believe that the nation and our culture is hetero-phobic, and that straight people actually have always had it harder than queer people.

2) LGBTQIA History Month will be fully pervasive in PSA's. Will cause debate on it's necessity for the next 100 years.

3) Intimate partner violence statistics will provide better analysis for criminology and for the social sciences. Expansion of relationship dynamics will help to break societal assumptions about men and women.

4) First queer President will provide both a fascination and hostility toward the lack of living up to stereotypes and the actual living up to stereotypes.

5) Mystic is throwing a party.

I predict that once again be able to hear Broadway show tunes on NPR.
(Haven't had that since the 70s on WBJC in Baltimore!)
But the downside is that I'll get invited to more weddings.

 

[Wirey]

First queer president? Um, ever heard of Grant?

 

[Augustus]

Gays usually cause earthquakes, so I would expect earthquakes 24/7. You think it is a coincidence that San Francisco is on a major fault line?

Maybe some other disasters too, like tornadoes in Oklahoma or snow storms in NY state.

Probably won't get any plagues of locusts though as I think they are reserved for being nasty to Moses.

6) There will be a statistically significant rise in same-sex divorce.

Actually, earthquakes are caused by women wearing revealing or tight clothing.

I addressed that news item a couple years ago...
The fundies are banning tight jeans
but only for Muslim colleens.
They're worried men might
lose faith at the sight
of hot legs & their 'in-betweens'.

Not really.
In the mid nineteenth century God tried to off the Mormons with a plague of locusts. But Satan sent a horde of feathered demons to thwart God's will. They still idolize these demons today.

6) There will be a statistically significant rise in same-sex divorce.

If so, their divorces will threaten to destroy the sanctity of my own two divorces.

 

[tytlyf]

Wedding photographers and divorce lawyers will see an increase in business.

 

[gsa]

Gsaseeker and significant other will no longer be able to point to state law as excuse to traditionalist family members, and will increasingly rely on cohabitation trend to justify lifestyle choices.

 

[Wirey]

The legal right to marry your sister will come up repeatedly in the Alabama State Legislature.

You've got your story all bass-ackwards. When locusts swarmed in to destroy the Mormon pioneers' crops, God called in a flood of seagulls to devour the locusts, fly out to the Great Salt Lake, where they regurgitated them, and then back to the pioneers' fields to eat more locusts. They did so until all the crops were salvaged. Thanks to His intervention, the California Gull is now the state bird of land-locked Utah.

I suspect that nothing will change much but homophobia will continue to lessen as time goes on.

 

[Bunyip]

Well of course the consequences would be as follows;
1. The 'slippery slope' effect. Within weeks people would be marrying their cars, their pets and various other animate and inanimate objects. Leading to an apocalypse.
2. The great 'turning'. Also within weeks, or possibly hours the entire population would turn gay and the human race would become extinct.
3. The army would also all turn gay, leaving the US vulnerable to invasion by more butch nations. Like Tasmania.

Actually, earthquakes are caused by women wearing revealing or tight clothing.

Scientific studies have proved that this is only true in places like Iran where they don't have any gays to cause havoc. Gayness is a Western invention after all. As a result, Allah hates strumpets, temptresses and scarlet Jezebels.

In America, Jesus's dad just don't like the gays. Maybe he was concerned that His only begotten son was still unmarried and surrounded by men well past the age he should have had a loving cis female wife and a couple of kids at least.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Until it's the norm for a few generations gays will wonder why the hell they fought for any of it as the discussion on what color to paint the walls turns into a dog-house inducing argument. Just like any married couple really, except with the newness of being able to just go and get married.
