Yeah, the USSR used to declare the USA was on the wrong side of history. Guess who had the last laugh on that one?

The fact of the matter is that the gaystapo comprises an extremely small fraction of the population, around 4%. This vs a much, much larger percentage of conservative Christians, blacks, and muslims, all who oppose gay marriage.

That is a terrible example. Hate using this example but, slavery was once a socially conservative issue. You can argue the economic value of it all day, but at what cost? There are certain social issues that in the context of America that have to be addressed.

As for my "give up battle to win war." Think more WWII. Allies cracked Nazi communication code, yet did not reveal it until many years later. They allowed certain ships to be sunk in order to keep it a secret that they had broken the code. It ended up winning the war.

And where is that 4% coming from? Is that 4% of the total population is gay? Or 4% of the population supports SSM?

Considering nearly 100 years after the repeal of prohibition, we still have blue laws and dry counties, I doubt the legalization of any social act is inevitable.

The amount of dry counties is so small that it can hardly be considered an issue. Granholm v Heald settled any debate on that (stated that states could not regulate shipments of alcohol). Less than 10 states have municipalities that have dry standards. 1 of those is Tennessee, which is one of the largest producers of alcohol, including a Jack Daniels plant within a dry county.
