The Fast Changing Map of Marriage Equality


At day break this past Monday morning, only 19 states had marriage equality.  Today, the number is up to 27 with several more likely to soon slide into the marriage equality column.  The map above is the latest one from Wikipedia.   Dark blue states are those with marriage equality.  Those in light blue, are states where final orders striking down.  Beige represent states where lower courts have invalidated same sex marriage bans.  Red is states  where no rulings have been handed down as yet, although it should be noted that Montana, Wyoming, and Arizona are controlled by the 9th Circuit's recent ruling and may soon find themselves in the marriage equality column.
