I don't think it will be a last state, it will eventually make its way to the Supreme Court and all the remaining states with a ban will have it overturned.

This. Again the states won't get a vote as they have already voted to ban it and judges alone are overturning state laws and violating their state constitutions. 1 more step towards a revolt. Oh and I say Mississippi or Alabama.If it was left up to the actual state and not some politically appointed jerk.

The "politically appointed jerks" are required to follow the law and understand that the tyranny of the majority should not be imposed on the minority. Further, the opposition has never been able to prove what harm the result of allowing SSM would cause. People cannot pass laws simply because they don't like something that somebody else does, and no other reason. There was a time when the will of the people was Jim Crow laws, not letting women vote, etc. Upholding the Constitution is not a popularity contest for voters to decide, nor do states get to violate the constitutional principle of equal treatment.

Judges are voting to overturn it because states can't pass laws that are Unconstitutional. You disagree with the ruling than actually read the Judges opinion and refute the actually legal reasoning why it was overturned. The people voted for it, isn't legal reasoning.

41 states once banned interracial marriage, and of those 41 bans, 0 were overturned by a vote of the people.

Was that wrong?
No, because those states were violating the civil rights of men and women who wished to marry.
Loving v. Virginia upheld marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Whether or not to redefine marriage, as the gay army wishes to do, should be a state issue per the 10th Amendment.
Better yet, government should get entirely out of the marriage business.
