"Gay marriage is now legal in so many states, I&amp;#x27;ve almost lost count!Unisex Black Dudes Marry Dudes Red Heart T-shirt, $8.99. Okay, not really. NINE, plus the District of Columbia! Maryland, Washington, and Maine all voted yesterday in favor of marriage equality, joining Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont, as states that allow same-sex couples to marry. (New Jersey and Rhode Island don&amp;#x27;t allow gay marriage, but both recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.) In addition, of course newly re-elected President Barack Obama was the first president to speak out in favor of same-sex marriage. Can I get another cheer for that? ALSO {Yes, the good news just keeps on coming! } the good people of Minnesota voted down a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage in the state as between one man and one woman, which would have effectively made same-sax marriage illegal there, so yay! It was a very good night on the same-sex marriage front, my friends. A very good night. Where does your state stand on same-sex marriage? Here&amp;#x27;s where I stand. And here&amp;#x27;s where Jay-Z stands. p.s. This isn&amp;#x27;t same-sex marriage news, but on the general progress front, did you hear that Democrat Tammy Baldwin will be the first woman to represent Wisconsin in the senate, AND the first openly gay person to serve in the senate as well?
