But, ultimately, in the scheme of things, they can't win. Do you know why? Look at the culture wars; we've been winning those in the hearts of much of the public since the early 1990s, and that hasn't changed. There is even a possibility that Mississippi of all states, may possibly be ready to allow same-sex marriage as soon as 2016, maybe even this year. Acceptance of Transgender people has also gone way up since then, as many people previously on the fence got up and sided with the progressives, once they heard all the facts and convincing arguments on our side; same thing happened with interracial marriage in the '60s and '70s, too.

And the fact that they will ultimately lose in the end is driving many hardline traditionalist conservatives crazy.....because it's becoming increasingly obvious that this is exactly how things are playing out.
