Wisconsin and Indiana join marriage-equality states

The U. S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court decision that declared the bans of same-sex marriage in Wisconsin and Indiana to be unconstitutional.     The decision was unanimous.

Wisconsin and Indiana bring the total number of marriage equality states to 21.    Others have been added by lower court rulings and are awaiting appeal decisions.

This comes a day after a federal judge in Lousiana upheld that state's ban.   But  reading of the judges decision shows it to be so full of wrong thinking, based on incorrect data, that it is unlikely to survive an appeals court decision.

The dominoes continue to fall.
