Well, you haven't even really defined the terms of this arrangement. What would we need to do to fulfill our side of the bargain and what would you be required to do to fulfill your side of things?
I still doubt that I'd be taking your deal, mostly because my side is winning anyway. Gay rights are moving forward with same sex marriage becoming legal in several states and our president supporting marriage equality. Even Dick Cheney campaigned for same sex marriage (although it was only after he left office). As for abortion, the Romney campaign is going down in flames and the only way I see any significant anti-abortion laws being passed is if Roe v Wade is overturned. That would require a shift in the supreme court and since it looks like Obama is going to be president for another four years, the supreme court is going to be getting more liberal, if anything.
