virginia is an exception because both houses of the general assembly are dominated by republicans so it won't necessarily "pass" gay marriage

wtf is the difference between light blue and red

wtf is the difference between light blue and red

>50 percent oppose in red states

<50 percent oppose or support in light blue states, i'm guessing in many of these a plurality of the population but not quite a majority is supportive

oh wow.


can utah have a popular referendum on it like california did? 

a federal appeal is just about the ultimate legal recourse utah could have taken, and uh

welp

looks like it's here to stay

utah must be looking to drag the last 32 states down with it, because this could only ever backfire if they don't just reject it on standing

will utah leave the union and start a highly advanced mormon utopia with it?

i don't think it will be rejected on standing because in the california prop 8 case, the state didn't defend the law and a quasi-religious organization elected to defend the law

So far, the flood of marriage licenses has provided an unexpected financial benefit for the state: More than $49,000 in nearly three days.

The gays will save our crumbling economy.

[Nyerp]

marriage is an industry

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i'm surprised ±$49,ooo over the course of three days for an entire state is even worth a mention at all
