38. I think it's got a strong shot at passing...
...a much better chance than most people realize. I think it's close to 50/50.

Sadly, few Democratic politicians have *EVER* shown themselves willing to fight for gay Americans if it might cost them a vote or two.

Gay marriage will become a reality soon through the courts, unless an ammendment stops it... and I think the call for that ammendment will grow stronger and stronger as that reality approaches.

I fully expect to be an official 2nd-class citizen within the next few years. It's not that radical a step, if you consider that gays have been more-or-less 2nd-class citizens all along...

I intend to fight like hell anyway. And I hope I'm wrong.
