That's where this ends up. If you disagree with that, then I'd say you're delusional.

The only other way is if Congress does something which would be unthinkable under current conditions, pass an equal rights bill for LGBT. (Yes, women, too.)

If Rmoney wins, especially with both houses of Congress, it may never be realized.

If Obama wins with both Houses, it might happen quickly.

And everything in between.
