Today Rhode Island's state Senate passed a bill that will legalize marriage between two people of the same sex. The state House had passed it in January. Governor Lincoln Chafee will quickly sign it.
That makes 10 states plus the District of Columbia; California is awaiting a SCOUTS decision. Illinois and Delaware are quite likely to be added soon. New Jersey's Republican governor Christie vetoed it there. Colorado just passed a civil union bill.
Internationally, 14 countries have legalized marriage equality. France, New Zealand, and Uruguay have all been added in the last few weeks.
Unless SCOTUS decides soon, they may find themselves left in the dust of changing times.
