Nearly entire swath of northeastern US now has marriage equality
Today, a federal judge in Indiana struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage, followed almost immediately by the first appellate level win since last year’s Windsor decision as the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that struck down Utah’s ban late last year.
Looking at the map, you can see that once Ohio and Michigan’s marriage bans are overturned, the entire Northerner US will be a zone of equality for LGBTQ families.
If the Supreme Court dares to take up the constitutionality of state mini-DOMA’s, there’s a good chance they’ll determine they violate the US Constitution’s equal protection guarantees.
That would make the entire map green with the stroke of a pen.
