Could Georgia be next to legalize gay marriage??

Not sure if you were referring to my post or not, but I did not mention Iowa as one of those conservative states. If you were not, my apologies.

Like everybody else has said it will be forced upon Ga just like every other social movement in the history of this country. There is already a slim majority of US residents who support it depending on the poll you look at and regardless of the poll, the number of citizens who support marriage equality is increasing rapidly especially among those under 50. It is just a matter of time...the US Supreme Court will overturn DOMA and all state bans and GA will go kicking into acceptance. If left to the state legislature alone...I would bet it would be 2030 or later before it became legal...the USSC will rule it a civil right looooong before then.

Personally I don't have anything against homosexuals live and let live if they wanna get married and be miserable like most of the married couples i do know God bless have at it, I see more gay and lesbian couples fighting to get married than I do straight couples you try getting a straight dude to talk about marriage without him heading for the hills. As it's been stated in the post above don't expect a voluntary recognition of homosexuals here without the government forcing them but there's a better chance of that happening than in Alabama for example haha, but that's just my opinion.

Actually cities like Birmingham and Mobile in Alabama are surprisingly liberal when it comes to gay life. I'm sure outside of the cities it becomes very conservative - much like in Georgia.
