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.

Most of the SEC still prefers heterosexuality.
Sweeping the courtrooms.
Sweeping apparently means imposed by unelected judicial overloads.
Most of the country does, too. It is the tyrants in black robes who prefer homosexuality.
The USA has become more arrogant, detestable, perverted and morally bankrupt than Sodom and Gomorrah ever were.
Judicial tyranny, unchecked, unbalanced by officers of the other branches.
It’s a rebellion against God and nature, and a coup d’etat against the people of the United States.
Yep. I don’t think a single state has voted to legalize with a ballot proposal.
I don’t think so either. Even Minnesota voted to ban it, but the liberals don’t care what the people think, they go to court and put it in front of one of their judges and there you go. That’s what happened to Indiana.
I think the Massachusetts legislature voted to legalize but that’s as close as any state has come to a popular vote on the issue.
I think there were a few, maybe a couple more that rejected a popular vote marriage amendment. I think Maryland is one of those approved it by a ballot.

As far as I can see, every single move towards same-sex marriage has been due to COURTS.
Sorry to say it, but reform seems impossible. We need a major financial and dollar collapse, to stop the fiat money printing, debt-issuing, interest-rate-controlling-Fed from supporting Progressive, centrally-planned government. Maybe we can rebuild from there. I don’t know.
I see no other way
When brought to a vote of the people, they were eliminated at every turn.
But a few judges feel differently, apparently.
(Prop 187 in CA. was yet another in a long line of test cases on judicial activism vs. the will of the people, the Feds killed it, the people capitulated to the power of their overlords, and it simply died on the vine)
Even the most flaming progressive probably can't believe they are getting away with it...and(more importantly)it gives them the incentive to see what else they can "fundamentally transform"...in the face of what has become a feckless/weak opposition.
‘...Maryland is one of those approved it by a ballot.’
Maine and Washington are the other two.
Not by law and the will of the people, but dictatorial judicial fiat.
Marijuana legalization was also legalized via slim majorities at the ballot box yet - I havent heard of one legal challenge to the initiative and it's implementation.
Why is it that each and every same sex marriage initiative was challenged and over turned and not one legalized marijuana initiative?
We need a Federal Marriage Amendment to stop judges from legislating.
