I imagine that all east coast states north of DC, all west coast states (including Hawaii, excluding Alaska), and several interior west states (namely Nevada and Colorado) will have full fledged gay marriage or something very similar by 2013.  By that time I would also expect to see civil unions legalized or on the horizon in the upper midwest as well as Florida, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico, and Montana.  Demographic changes in the south Atlantic might push one or two of those states closer to this position as well.  With so many states recognizing same sex partnerships (several of them rather large) and widespread public support for gay marriage, there will be a strong push in Congress to end DOMA and allow full federal recognition of same sex couples.  There may also be a Supreme Court case in the making which could at the very least, force states with bans to recognize same sex marriages performed in other states.

Unless it turns out that gays and lesbians are a bunch of disguised and very confused alien invaders bent on world domination, yes.
