"Why can't the South? I'm just hoping that the South will be able to realize that this change is happening," Dennis said. "It started with a few states, then 10 states now we are up to about 30 states that allow gay marriage. I know Columbus and other cities in the South still have a long way to go because it's so close to the Bible belt. But I think 50 years from now, the new generation will look back and think this whole thing was absurd. I hope to see gay marriages will be legalized in all states one day."
