The US will soon be dominated by (new) immigrants, especially Latinos and Asians. They don't support gay marriage in general.
Oh, they don't?
Where did you get your information from?
Answer for me a question: who did Asians and Latinos support for president in the 2012 elections? The pro-Marriage Equality candidate Obama, or the candidate opposed to legal same sex marriage Romney?

Under no scenario of demographics are "new" immigrants dominating anything.
NEW immigrants will always be just a percentage of the population.
Their offspring get folded into the general culture. Their offspring, like the offspring of those whose families have been here awhile, overwhelmingly support gay marriage.
The Pew Research Center found in their landmark national survey last year, Asian Americans of all ages say homosexuality should be accepted by society rather than discouraged by a ratio of 53% to 35%.
And today, the Minnesota Senate passed the Marriage Equality bill. Governor Mark Dayton says he will sign it into law tomorrow (Tuesday, May 14). Minnesota will become the 12th US State to legalize marriage between gay, lesbian and transgendered people.
Mexico's path to gay marriage may be the US' path to marriage.
The repeal/replacement of DOMA will mean the full faith and credit clause will cause same sex marriages in State A to be recognized in State B, regardless of whether State B licenses such marriages to take place in their state.
Because all governmental and public accommodations will not be able to discriminate based on marital status, and thus we'll end up with de facto gay marriage in all 50 states.
Im going with the 3rd choice, I don't see my state (Alabama) legalizing it anytime soon. Georgia MIGHT, but it'll only be because of Atlanta, the rest of the state won't go for it.

They don't actively oppose it, as a fundamental tenet of their political action, either, as some fundamentalist Christian groups do.
And they'll have come from (and probably remain, each group unto themselves) a minority within the nation, and therefore be more conscientious with regard to using their own political power specifically to oppress another minority group.

Mexicans vote Obama because they want the immigration bill, not because of gay marriage.
Some Asians vote Obama because they hate WASP, not because of gay marriage.
Asian parents will do anything to make sure their children have a traditional family.
Not all states in Mexico allow gay marriage, the same as the US.
The only difference is that every Mexican state recognizes such a marriage if it is already there.

Don't be silly. Chinese immigrants will never be "white" and will never be "fully American", especially because China is also dominating the world now.
The same applies to Indians and Mexicans.
Europeans do not come any more.
