Will it be because of the stupid threat of a Senate filibuster (even though they're virtually assured 3 Republican votes and maybe more)?

What will it be?

3. It certainly won't be because the Senate and the House are primarly filled with Homophobes
At least, that won't be the official explanation.

5. "Don't worry, it will happen some day"
And of course, the ever popular "wait till after the election"
