There's a lot of people who realize that being anti-marriage-equality today is similar to being pro-slavery shortly after the Civil War when there was nowhere near 100% recognition of how abhorrent slavery is/was, though not in severity (i.e. both are morally wrong, but the magnitude of slavery is much, much greater...if pro-equality advocates were more intellectually honest, they'd equate it with prohibitions on interracial marriage which, though a vestige of slavery, is more of an exact corollary).
But it's pretty clear to those of us who have no dog in this fight that the anti-equality folks are on the wrong side of history. In 50 years, not allowing gays to marry will be more or less equivalent to the prohibitions against interracial marriage that once existed and are now, almost universally, recognized as being bigoted.
