Just a thought...there are 18 states and the District of Columbia which now allow equal marriage, and with the others in limbo (Utah, Texas, Arkansas, Idaho, Oklahoma-->8-9 total) awaiting final outcomes, by the end of the year there could be half more/less of the states having passed marriage equality. The final half i see over the next 5 years unless the United States Supreme Court steps in and makes a blanket law for all.

There are States where you can still be fired for being gay, and/or be denied housing and other services, and although equal marriage will help, other laws must be changed as well for our brothers and sisters to have a chance at real equality.
