Yes -- eventually. I expect this within 2 generations, but if I were good at predicting the future, I would be rich. Still, I am confident that it will happen eventually. After all, miscegenation (marriage of persons from different races) was once illegal throughout the US. The first of these laws was repealed (interestingly enough, in Iowa) in 1851. In 1967, one hundred and sixteen years later, the US Supreme Court found the 16 remaining state laws unconstitutional. Interracial marriage is now legal throughout the country.

Will same-sex marriage be legalized in the United States?
Same-sex marriage is already legal on the federal level in the United States. However, since marriage has always been controlled by state law, the legality of entering into a same-sex marriage varies from state to state. Currently, some states permit same-sex couples to marry, but most do not. The number of states permitting and recognizing same-sex marriages continues to grow slowly. It is likely that same-sex marriage will eventually become legal in all 50 US states, although that may be many years from now.
