Climate Change Deniers, for they have the most valid points amd are the most powerful. Holocaust Deniers aren't very powerful outside of the Middle East and Creationists are even less powerfull and both are heavily despised (depending on which form of Creationism; most Creationists on the Atlas are Theistic Evolutionists, which aren't very despised except by Young Earth Creationists) compared to Climate Change denial.

California should just have its own category of California
California: Voters passed a ban in 2000. In 2004, Newsom handed out some licenses in violation of state law. The legislature passed gay marriage a couple of times around 2006. Arnold vetoed it, saying it should be up to the courts. The state Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2008, only to have Prop. 8 constitutionally ban it later that year. Lower federal courts ruled against Prop. 8, but SCOTUS has yet to rule. If SCOTUS doesn't legalize it, look for the November 2014 ballot.
California has domestic partnerships that are similar to marriage, but unlike gay marriage, those never made much news.
That's why there is a "2" on the map. Go to the Wikipedia page for the map and it says that SSM in California is complicated. 39-way tie for 12th next month. I refuse to believe we will have another Plessy in the 21st century.
You haven't been paying attention to Minnesota and Illinois.

Delaware and Maryland are culturally Mid-Atlantic/Northeastern as all get out, let's be real here. Census regions, Delmarva and the slower lower be damned.
I'd also like to echo the disappointment in my state. Shifty, anti-gay fat with a fresh Lap-Band. America's governor indeed.
He only did that so he would have a chance in 2016. I doubt he's really as homophobic as anyone else running that year. And once again I ask: Was there an attpt at overriding his veto?

Many straight people think gay relationships, especially sexual ones, are disgusting. Do gays feel the same way?
Are gays grossed out when they see a male/female kiss or sex scene?
