Gay Marriage Is Legal In 32 US States – But What About The Other 18? Eighteen states in the union have not yet recognised gay marriage – but for several, it’s just a matter of time before that changes

After the unexpected decision by the US supreme court not to hear a series of appeals, same-sex marriage is now legal in 32 US states.
So what about the 18 remaining states? In those covered by the jurisdictions of appeal courts that have ruled in favor of gay marriage, it’s just a matter of time before the bans fall. All that’s required is a ruling by a court at state level. South Carolina, Montana and Kansas are in this category, covered by the fourth, ninth, and 10th circuits.
In other states, even if a district judge rules that a ban is unconstitutional, the case would still need to run up the appeals process.
Supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage hope the supreme court will weigh in and clear things up. Experts agree that if an appeals court were to rule in favor of a gay marriage ban, setting up a conflict between jurisdictions, pressure would increase on the justices to take up a case. Legal experts have their bets on the conservative fifth and sixth circuit courts. Decisions on same-sex marriage cases are due in the coming months.
Here’s the full picture

Which states have legalized polygamy?
In Michigan Muslims can claim multiple wives as family members.
Midwest and Southeast are doing pretty good so far.
No they can’t.
How?!
The remaining 18? I’d opt for secession. The fag-marriage states can just go straight to hell as far as I’m concerned. Of course, I do expect the tyrants in the Courts to continue imposing it on the remaining 18, making all of America into Homo-America. And that’s an America who’s death I’d readily cheer.
What about the other 25?
The only way anyone can believe that “gay marriage” is “legal” is if they believe that judges get to make our laws.
According to Article One Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution they do not.
“ALL legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”
And of course the legislative powers of Congress are limited by that Constitution, and by the laws of nature and of nature’s God.
Without a Constitutional Amendment protecting marriage, the country is doomed.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no effort to pass such an amendment.
We are doomed.

Don’t know the validity.
The rest of them adopted it by court order, including ours.
They just claim them to be dependent members of his household.
Polygamy is NOT legal in Michigan despite what islamderthals may do illegally.
Then what is stopping the rest of us?
I expect the birth rate would be higher in the 18 non-homo states.
Oh, by the way, for the 32 pervert states, the Bible is not a collection of fables. Sodom and Gomorrah happened and has been proven archeologically factual. God destroyed the cities of the plain.
Perhaps a fashion designer will come out with ultra fire retardent queer attire.
Of course it is illegal. Obama will be sending Holder to investigate any day now.
