Barring a literal miracle, we'll be settling in to a new construct of "marriage" soon where "the people" are forced to issue marriage licenses even though there is no bride or no groom involved (one of the sexes is excluded). I predict that the next great cause for the activists will me "marriage equality" - again. While the law will say that a reproductive-type marriage (that's one having both a bride and a groom, for you who are slow on the uptake) and one where one of the sexes is missing - are equal - (just listen to that chorus of angels sing in awesome affirmation) - sociologists will discover that things just aren't as good for the willing participants (that would be the adults) and the unwilling (children).
This will be chalked up to a "legacy of bigotry and homophobia" as well as "institutional homophobia" and ongoing individual homophobia. After all, we all know there is no difference between a union of both sexes and a uniting a single-sex couple, right? The court said so! Some polls even said so - and public opinion determines reality (as long as it is what the Left likes to hear). So the fact that these same-sex "marriages" will not bring and equality of results to the participants couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that there is an inherent difference between uniting the sexes and uniting two people of the same sex (or little, inconsequential influences like... oh, God or nature).
Therefore, there will be a need to file more lawsuits against businesses (thereby having the customers, investors, and employees pay up) and governments (thereby having the taxpayers pay up); and to elect Leftists; expand government with new laws, regulations, and programs (more spending and restrictions); and do everything we can to erase the "homophobia" that is denying same-sex couples and "their" children the equality of outcomes they should be getting now that they will be getting marriage licenses.
You just know that this is the way it will be. Aren't you looking forward to it? Get ready for it. The training will be coming to the classroom and to the workplace and we'll see public service announcements telling us we must all be bigots because of the difference in outcomes. We should burn old dictionaries, too, and heck - any book that refers to marriage being something between a bride and a groom. And, as I've said before, eventually same-sex "married" couples will demand a "right" to taxpayer funding for third-party reproduction, seeing as how "bigotry" (that would be Mother Nature) has prevented them from being able to reproduce the way both-sex couples often can, with no outside help or expensive lab work.
