Well, however this ends, whether gay marriage is eventually decided legal in all fifty states or not, heterosexuals can talk comfort in the fact that at no time will their own marriages ever come under threat, whether by litigation, popular votes or court decision.
Personally, I think a much fairer way of going about this is that if laws against gay marriage are decided constitutional, then gays don't get to be married and that's the end of that. But if they are decided to be unconstitutional, then all heterosexuals have to forfeit their marriages. The problem here is that heterosexuals (at least the anti-gay marriage camp) aren't threatened at all -- they're gambling with other people's lives.
