Delaware today became the 11th U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage. Way to go Delaware! 11 down, 39 more to go!

Also, it looks like Minnesota might be state number 12 in the next few weeks.

Congrats to DE. I wish my own state of PA would get out of the dark ages.

I believe with all my heart that it WILL happen.

I think the tide is with fairness and compassion and doing what is right and that it will be legal in all fifty states - and I like to think that will happen sooner rather than later.

Congratulations to the good citizens of Delaware!

Great news, it also looks like the Minnesota legislature will vote on it on Thursday.

Excellent news. The religious right's head is probably about to explode.

Nah......they're probably too busy rejoicing over the fact that that adulterer Sanford won his election.

But I'm glad to see where the younger generations stand because I actually have kids in both GenX (which could do a little better than 49% IMO) and in Millennial (at 70%).

I am ashamed to be in PA as well. It is only PA and NJ now in the "Mid atlantic" region.

NJ came close if not for Christy vetoing it.

But Deleware was a bit of a suprise. The state seems (in my opinion) sort of this rural backwater (except for Wilmington, which sint that big of a city)...yet they voted for it.
