Secession vs Gay Rights - Which "Way" are the States going?

I was having a conversation with my partner-in-cracking-it-open, and we came to an interesting conclusion:

More states have offered rights to gays, than states that have attempted to seceded from the union.

Here are the states that have attempted to bring secession into the discussion:

2012 state petitions for secession
The 2012 state petitions for secession were a citizen originated petition drive using the White House's petitioning system. By November 14, 2012 all 50 US states have had petitions filed by their citizens.[1][2] Generally, each petition seeks peaceful secession and independence for their respective states from the United States of America.

White House Rejects Petitions to Secede, but Texans Fight On
By MANNY FERNANDEZ
Published: January 15, 2013

 AUSTIN, Tex. — More than 100,000 people who signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to allow Texas to secede from the United States and create an independent government received an official 476-word response from the White House last week.

The short answer was NO.

But the response — in which a White House official said the founding fathers established the United States as a “perpetual union” — hardly discouraged the Texas secession movement, which has been simmering for decades but gained momentum after the re-election of President Obama.

===============================

Its clear the states are going gay, and the secession of states has so far, not happened at all.
The majority do not want secession, the people want gay rights.

The people promoting secession do not realize how far down the road to World Government we really are.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
