35. I wish I had your confidence.
I'm ready to fight this tooth and nail, but I see it as having a nearly 50/50 chance of passing.

The democratic politicians have already shown themselves completely UNWILLING to stand up for gay Americans whenever it might cost them a few votes.

The DoMA passed overwhelmingly easily. So did all the statewide versions--and they passed in enough states to confirm an ammendment...

I think this all boils down to Congress. If it gets past the Senate and House, I think it will get past the needed number of states.

I actually expect to be an official 2nd class citizen in my own country soon.
