South Carolina to fall very shortly!

13 to go and that's the ball game!



ETA: Changed headline, South Carolina fell.

[we can do it]

1. I am betting on stupid Ohio to be last.

[William769]

2. I don't knowy my State (Florida) is trying awfully damn hard for that position.

[we can do it]

3. At least it's warm in Florida- too cold up here!

[William769]

4. Well, there is that.

to warm you up.

[we can do it]

13. I feel better all ready.

[shenmue]

6. I live in FL too

and we're boring and we've got lots of televangelists, so that'll help.

[William769]

7. Hello fellow Floridian!

[shenmue]

9. O hai

I grew up in NY but somehow I floated away.

[William769]

11. I'm a transplant also.

Born & raised in Kentucky! Now you want to talk about evangelicals, Kentucky's got them!

[we can do it]

14. We are almost ready to drift down to Delaware where we got married.

(We don't count here in Ohio, don't you know)

[AC_Mem]

38. Orlando here:)

Hi from Florida!

[William769]

39. I am S.W. of you.

Passed the frost proof line.

[Warpy]

32. Ugh, I was born there and have always been grateful that my parents

moved north soon afterward.

They retired there in the mid 70s. I always hated going down there to visit them and not just for the climate but for the funny equations in people's heads that made them believe the most ridiculous tommyrot when it came to religion and politics. Or maybe that hot sun in sauna like humidity just fries their brains after they move there.

My dad thought it was heaven on earth. My mother said she was glad to see so many high rise condos going up, it would make the state sink faster.

22. saw a tv commercial

For Key West specifically targeting the LGBT community to come vacation/live in FL keys. Not sure if it has been around awhile or not but thought it was cool.

[William769]

23. Key west is a Gay Mecca.

Oh the memories.

[nichomachus]

5. Georgia waited until last year to outlaw slavery

So, don't hold your breath for all of them to fall.

[Scuba]

8. Wisconsin will give you a run.

[Botany]

18. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee will all goes as one .....

.... because they are all in the same Federal District. Although, I think some
republican ass hat federal judge just recently blocked gay marriage for that
district (5th or 6th) but it is only a matter of time.

BTW as a straight man how long before will I have before I will have to marry
a man and can somebody tell my son for me?

[we can do it]

19. You are correct about the asshat (time to marry varies by state)

[William769]

20. 6th circuit

And that one is going to go to SCOTUS.

[Botany]

24. and SCOTUS has already set a precedent in other circuits

http://www.freedomtomarry.org/states/ and by this map it looks like
we might only have 6 states that will not have freedom to marry very soon.

W769

[William769]

26. Agreed and thank you so much for that link!

[Botany]

36. Now when "the gays" take over how long before I have to marry another man?

My bet "it" will be coast to coast by 2015.

I got to run because w/ "the gay agenda" becoming our nation's
Shari law I think I should go to the gym.

[Gothmog]

37. Only because they beat the 5th Circuit

The 5th Circuit is one of the most conservative courts in the country. There is little doubt as to how the 5th Cir. will rule in the Texas same sex marriage case.

[awoke_in_2003]

34. As a native Buckeye, I am disappointed in Ohio...

but as a 24 year resident of Texas, I guarantee Texas will be last.

[cyberswede]

10. Great progress!

[William769]

12. Yes it is!

[we can do it]

15. Thanks for posting!

[Rowdyboy]

16. Here in Mississippi we've been waiting to hear from Judge Carleton Reeves, an Obama appointee

for a week now. Should be any day now....

[William769]

17. I thought there were som counties in Mississippi

Where people were getting married. Did they stop that?

[Rowdyboy]

27. Not that I'm aware of but the last few months have been really hectic (medical issues) and I could

easily have missed a small story. AFAIK everyone is waiting on the federal judge to rule on the issue statewide.

[William769]

28. My mistake, I was thinking of Kansas.

It's all moving so fast, it's hard to keep up.

Sending good thoughts your way.

[Rowdyboy]

31. Truely, its like a freight train with no sign of slowing down....

And, as Martha Stewart used to say "that's a good thing!"

And the good thoughts are greatly needed right now. Thanks my friend.

[japple]

21. I can't believe it. How is poor Lindsey Graham going to hold up his head

in public?

My prediction: Georgia will be last.

[alfredo]

25. The Kentucky case is going to the Supremes.

[minivan2]

29. Next year all 50 states will have marriage equality.

[William769]

30. Here's to good vibes to make that happen.

[Initech]

33. Now we need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing that equality!

[octoberlib]

35. Add Montana to the list

http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/19/us/montana-same-sex-marriage/index.html


(CNN) -- A federal judge overturned Montana's same-sex marriage ban Wednesday, making it the 34th state in the nation to allow such unions.
U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris' order was effective immediately.

[William769]

40. AND SOUTH CAROLINA HAS FALLEN!
