What an amazing week it was, same-sex marriage keeps sweeping the nation. By letting the lower courts decisions stand 11 states were released to begin same sex marriage. It has not been smooth, but it is happening. Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wisconsin, Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina are either performing marriages or getting ready to. Allowing equality is still a struggle in Wyoming, Kansas, and South Carolina, but it is coming. A court in Alaska has also said the states same sex marriage ban was unconstitutional. Again it is coming.
I am happy for all the gains, but still wish the U.S. Supreme Court had taken the cases and made marriage equality the law of the land. Still waiting for Missouri to not just recognize marriage licenses from other states, but to overturn the ban on same sex marriages, again it is coming. Looking forward to equality.
