If gay marriage happened all across the country then maybe a lot of people would finally realize that gay people don't want to destroy the country or whatever other bullshit they imagine. After a few hostile months of course.
Unfortunately it seems like there shall always be people hanging on to bigoted ways though.
What would it take to convince the more hostile states that gay people aren't out to destroy the country?

Sort of like after Civil Rights people found out that Birth Of A Nation was a huge lie and black people weren't out to be slasher movie villains against white ladies.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.I doubt you will see mass riots/violence if gay marriage is ever brought in nation wide. The more likely scenario is that people loudly complain for a few months, see the world hasn't ended, remain bigoted but get bored and move on with their lives/onto opposing the next civil rights issue. Their minds won't change but I doubt they will keep up overt activity outside of a loud minority. Organized/large scale violence against sexual minorities/mass civil unrest is very unlikely to occur, sadly individual homophobic attacks are likely to continue as they always have.

Only 3 Democratic Senators remain; Manchin (D-WV), Landrieu (D-LA) and Pryor (D-AR)

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016Homosexuality still being illegal in Alabama really doesn't surprise me, considering that they only legalised inter-racial marriage in 2000.
They're not the only socially-backward Southern state though - segregation is seemingly still legal in Georgia, according to this
. Even if it's not actually legal, it seems that police have been acting as though it is anyway...

We'll be lucky if they grow up at all. If this isn't stopped I would predict a big increase in suicides amongst gay youth.
