I'm sure that in Michigan, like in most of the other states so far, any positive ruling will be put on hold for months.  Still, I have my fingers crossed.

As depressing as some of the polls coming out of the South have been, here's a pretty good one from a Bible Belt state:  Kansas only opposes gay marriage 44-48.   Kansas!!  Also, gay marriage is more popular in KS than legal marijuana which Kansans oppose 42-52.  Not to hijack the thread, but I think it would be interesting to compare support for marriage equality vs support for marijuana legalization...

sigh... my kingdom to be able to post links.

Kansas is evolving toward acceptance of same-sex marriage... and anti-gay discrimination is unpopular. The State legislature apparently went way too far.

February 18-20, 2014
Survey of 693 Kansas voters

For support and legality of same-sex marriage.

White -- same-sex marriage legal or has at the least been enacted. No further distinction.

Green -- same-sex marriage not legal, but more popular than unpopular or plurality support for legalization of SSM

65% or higher -- deep green (90% saturation)
60.0 - 64.9%  -- dark green  (70% saturation)
55.0 - 59.9%  -- medium green (50% saturation)
50.0 - 54.6% --  light green (30% saturation)
below 50% but positive -- aqua (20% saturation)

tie -- yellow

above 45.0% but negative -- hot pink (30% saturation)
40.0 - 44.9% -- medium red (50% saturation)
35.0 - 39.9%  -- red (60% saturation)
30.0 - 34.9%  -- maroon (70% saturation)
under 30% -- deep red  (90% saturation)

...

White may indicate that even temporarily that SSM is being permitted in the state, let alone that it is permitted as the result of legislation or some court dicision that existing laws do not prohibit SSM.

I think the ruling says that Kentucky (like Oregon) recognizes same-sex marriages from other jursidictions, not that same-sex marriage is legal there.

I don't know why you interpret "legally recognized" to mean "issues same-sex marriages" instead of "recognizes out-of-state same-sex marriages."  If anything, "legally recognized" sounds more like the latter to me.  Plus, every source I've seen indicates this recognizes pre-existing marriages only.

Yes, the decision requires KY to recognise marriages performed outside of the state. Not that KY has to perform marriages.

Bible Belt Indiana FTW!  This is why the delay in HJR-3 was such a huge win for equality here.  If/when this ever does go to a referen-dumb vote (2016?), public opinion will be so strongly against the ban amendment it will have no chance of passing.

I can't believe Indiana of all places now supports gay marriage... or at least not banning it.

The Dakotas and Nebraska should be very interesting. So should Missouri.

Except for North Carolina, every state that has ever voted for Barack Obama seems to be for the legalization of SSM.

SSM will be good for business, won't change fiscal or monetary policies, and won't give any aid to labor unions. It's going to succeed nationwide. Rationality will win.

Quite the optimist, aren't you?  Or were you referring to just this issue?  On this issue you are likely right, but often it is the case that it is irrational to bet on rationality winning.

Only on this issue.

Very rarely do we see Big Business taking the liberal side, but this time it does.

Updating map for Arizona: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2014/03/arizona-supports-brewer-veto-gay-marriage.html

Only 49-41 compared to 55-35 in the poll this replaces, but I have a higher opinion of PPP than the Rocky Mountain Poll. so I wouldn't read into this any drop in the actual level of support.  While this result is more like what one might expect from a Republican leaning state than the previous poll, it's quite possible this is lowballing the actual support and/or the RMP highballed it.

The ruling in Kentucky required the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, however it did not legalize same-sex marriage in the state.

We can only hope, since the Lost Cause mythology that developed after the Civil War was "We fought for what we thought were good reasons at the time, but in the end it was a good thing we lost."  Let's just hope we don't have a reversal of fortunes in about thirty years that see the advances the LGBT community has made being rolled back.

North Carolina may actually have a majority support for gay marriage. The reason Amendment 1 passed in such a landslide was because the Republicans in the Legislature scheduled the election for the same day as the GOP Presidential Primary, guaranteeing that it would pass with a big majority. So Amendment 1 was a referendum among Republicans on their opinion on gay marriage, and not a real statewide vote.

Okay, but this is North Carolina you're talking about, so...

Yeah.  I think at most, it might be that if being introduced de novo, an amendment to clutter up the state constitution with a ban on same-sex marriage wouldn't pass at a North Carolina general election in a presidential election.

NC probably has majority support if that's the case in GA, IMO. Not that I think Gay marriage would pass in either, even with 100% turnout.
