Same-sex marriage rights are sweeping the US. Here's where each state stands.

Update: On November 20, the Supreme Court refused to stay a decision that struck down South Carolina's same-sex marriage ban, allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry starting at noon.

Since 2013, when the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on same-sex marriage, lower courts have followed with their own decisions effectively ending same-sex marriage bans in several states.

As the decisions pile up, it can get a little difficult to track which same-sex marriage bans are legally valid and which have been overturned. This simple list tracks where each state stands.

Graphic is incorrect. It is illegal in Kansas. Now a federal judge has declared the State Constitution invalid, and a few people have had ceremonies...

...but its still not legal, as in recognized by the state of Kansas.

Same-sex marriage was enacted by popular vote in MD, ME and WA. A referendum to ban same-sex marriage was defeated in MN.

Same-sex marriage was enacted by the vote of the legislatures in CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MN, NY, RI and VT.

Same-sex marriage was also enacted by the state legislatures in CA and MA after prior bans had been struck down by the courts.

Thanks for the correction. of course Most of Minnesota voted against it, but that matters not when the cities and Duluth just steal the votes they need. Glad I moved!

That’s my point. It passed in state after state after state until the courts started striking it down. And then we have the DOM act.

Rush pointed out today that election results do not matter one bit when it comes to advancing the liberal agenda. It simply goes on, and nobody has the will to stop it.

Minneosota voted for ban on same sex on marriage and it failed.

A good map would be one where the states that voters rejected homo marriage only to have liberal judges overturn it would be illuminating.

Would show where the states really voted for it and where people rejected it only to have it forced on them by black robed activists.

[defconw]

That’s what someone said. Well I voted against it. I also had voted against it in Indiana beofre I moved to Minnesota. Indiana got over-ruled. So bascially it matters not one wit, what we do or do not vote for.

[conservaKate]

Washington voted yes.

That is fairly easy to explain. The order of the day is all that is good is to be looked down upon, covered up or diluted, smothered, destroyed if possible, mocked, diverted from, and any other method that can be envisioned to discourage morals, values, virtue, etc.

Marijuana legalization furthers this movement away from morals, values, virtue, truth, etc. just as striking down marriage laws in favor of sodomy. Actually its in favor of going after religion truth be told, they could care less about those engaged in those acts. There is a movement whether consciously or unconsciously (I suspect a bit of both) geared toward those ends among other things.

I don’t know if you believe in God, but I do, and I see a spiritual war behind all this. This is really the only thing that makes sense at this point to explain what is going on. While one can point out to some organizational efforts geared toward all this, there are also large elements that have very little in common with each other and yet there is lock step agreement with all this and yet very little in the way of actual communication. Its like they have evil whispering in their ears all at once, which can only be explained by the spiritual side of things.

“Nor does the sexual promiscuity of Brave New World seem so very distant. There are already certain American cities in which the number of divorces is equal to the number of marriages. In a few years, no doubt, marriage licenses will be sold like dog licenses, good for a period of twelve months, with no law against changing dogs or keeping more than one animal at a time. As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or conquered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.”

Only one problem: the Courts can dictate all sorts of issues, SSM is only the tip of the iceberg.
