I can see it already. After the tensions continue to rise to a boiling point a number of Southern States will declare secession rather than legally recognize gay marriage. The president orders the border states to raise a militia to quell the rebellion.
Most border states refuse and join the secession.
After a long and bloody war with the Southern states in defeat, it's industry and livestock obliterated, half its military aged men either maimed or dead, the rest of the country starts reconstruction by giving homosexuals control over all state legislature of the rebellious Southern states. Then after a few years the rest of the country loses interest starting a nearly hundred year repression of homosexuals in those states.
Then gay pride marches break out all over the place, the country remembers to finish what it started, everyone becomes at least legally equal, and then we stop paying attention all together.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
