Delaware has now approved gay marriage. It is now the 11th State in the USA to do so. The list keeps growing. I think the turn in the tide has shifted so far so fast that there will be no way to hamper this.

I would predict that there will be a large number of states that won't approve gay marriage for a very long time and there likely will be problems because of the varying laws - especially if the Supreme Court doesn't rule that one state must recognize as valid a marriage approved by another state.  And, generally, those states are the majority "red" states.  Bible thumpers and Republicans won't generally bend on this issue.

 

Eventually, either all the states need to come on board on this issue or the Supreme Court must ultimately rule that constitutionally that the states cannot treat a same-sex couple any different than a straight couple.  That's not likely in the near future.

It is possible Minnesota will be the 12 very soon!

 

I agree with most of what you say Bob but I do have high hopes that the Supremes will rule favorably on this issue. Notice I say high hopes only as I do think it will be very close.

I was going to say well I wish they would hurry up but then remembered their famous 1967 hit " you keep me hanging on"..........oh wait no, it was the "other" Supremes you were talking about I guess :-)

NIrish would you please keep on topic!

 

We are talking on a Gay Thailand Forum about Gay Marriage!!

 

So the Millie Small hit "My Boy Lollipop" is far more appropriate!!!
