Another victory for marriage equality!

Quote:
Today the Rhode Island state House passed marriage equality legislation, putting the Ocean State on track to become the tenth state in America where gay and lesbian couples can legally marry. The legislation, which passed with bipartisan support, will be signed into law by Gov. Lincoln Chafee later today in a historic signing ceremony on the steps of the Rhode Island State House.

Wonderful news!

Ten states (and the District of Columbia)!

Good job, Rhode Island!

Follow the $$$.

They have to try something. RI is an economic pit-hole and their population is shrinking.

...going to hell, liberals not caring about America, moral downfall of American society, diseases, the President (it's his fault you know), all Democrats being plagues on our nation and explicit descriptions of gay sex. (Written by members of the religious right who seem to know a great deal about it.)
