Another marriage equality state

The Delaware state senate just voted to legalize marriage equality, making it the second state in the five days to do so.    It is headed straight for the governor's desk, who is waiting to sign it into law.  Delaware makes #11 (or #12 if we count California).

Illinois, Minnesota, and Nevada have some legislative process stirring;  and New Jersey's legislature passed a law but Gov. Christie vetoed it.

With such momentum -- five states have actually voted it in in the past 14 months -- I fully expect the Supreme Court will at least let it become legal in California, even if they don't give a sweeping decision that covers all states.
