The Future of Same-Sex Marriage Ballot Measures
"Last week’s passage of a bill to make New York’s marriage law gender-neutral may accelerate efforts to put the issue before voters in other states.
A measure to ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota’s Constitution is already scheduled to be on the ballot in 2012, and one could follow in North Carolina. But with relatively few states now holding neutral positions on same-sex marriage, there may be efforts to repeal constitutional bans that already exist, such as in California and Oregon.
It is high time, therefore, to revisit the model that I originally built in 2009, which aims to predict the percentage of the vote that gay marriage-related ballot initiatives will receive.".........
Great article and presentation

Same Gender marriage will become the law of the land, it is only a matter of time. The conservatives even know it is going to happen they just keep trying to slow it down.
It would happen faster if the younger generations would get registered and vote.
