FWIW, 20 years ago (when my now-husband and I first got together) I expected that I would live in a world of strictly heterosexual marriages all my life. That didn’t incline me to cease my opposition to that world. So I can empathize with someone who expects to live in a world of increasing marriage equality but doesn’t allow that expectation to alter their opposition to that world.
