Gay Marriage Bill To Be Introduced In Rhode Island

California should just have its own category of California.
Let's see. Domestic partnerships, plus 18,000 gay marriages from June until November 2008 before gay marriage was banned, and then struck down, with that ruling stayed by the same court, and appealed.

There is a Proposition in the signature gathering stage to overturn Prop. 8, but I haven't heard anything about it, and they'd have to turn in 800,000 or so signatures by Monday, so I don't think it's happening.

I think the next four states to pass it legislatively will be: Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, and Rhode Island.

These four lack an existing state constitutional ban, have majority (in fact I think supermajority in all save IL) Democratic state legislatures, and have Governors in support.

Also Minnesota is likely too if the 2012 constitutional ban fails.

Hawaii and Rhode Island legalized civil unions last year, which was rather underwhelming given their lack of Republicans, to say the least. Were I in one of those state legislatures, I would have voted nay because of how lame it was.
