Our Next Civil War

If there was a civil war based on gay marriage which side would you be on? Before all of my conservative Christian friends say, "Kill those fags!" let me interject. If there was a war that started on the gay marriage issue it would not be solely because of that issue. The states that are allowing gay marriage have been resisting the remainder of the country on numerous issues (war-mongering abroad, climate change, health care, immigration policy, and so on).

So, this war will be entirely about Gay Marriage as much as the civil war of the 1860s was entirely about Slavery. Most likely the states to be on the Gay Marriage side would be the Pacific Coast and the northern Atlantic coast. So, California would be against the Flyover States. An important question to my Republican friends in California: if a bunch of Nebraskans invaded California, would you fight for your state, your friends, and your families; or would you fight for your cause? Most I have talked to picked the former, essentially saying one's region and one's people will overtake one's ideology.

Problems with this plan: 1) The people generally supporting progressive reform are either pacifists or acting hypocritically. 2) A war with the Flyover States would be a dangerous war. Country folks favorite amendment is the Second Amendment. Also most of our soldiers are from there, while most of our citizens aren't. 3) Most of our nukes are in Middle America, and they probably wouldn't think too deep about the consequences.

Basically, this most likely won't happen, but, consequently, Robert E. Lee was justified in fighting with the South, even if he did disagree with the cause.
