It’s so nice to have to post welcomes to states that finally allow all citizens to get married, and Illinois is the latest to join when the governor signed the bill today.

The sad news is that almost all of the states left are Republican states and many of them have Constitutional amendments the specifically prohibit gay marriage.  Those will take either another amendment to repeal it, or a decision from federal courts stating that these amendments are unconstitutional.

And then there is my home state of Pennsylvania again, the only state in the northeast behind the times. It’s also the only state in the northeast with a Tea Party governor and a legislature dominated by Republicans (thanks to gerrymandering, since more people voted for Democrats). Despite the fact that a majority of Pennsylvania citizens support gay marriage, it’s not going to happen until we get rid of the politicians who do not represent us.

Gay marriage (or as we like to call it “marriage”) will happen over the United States eventually.  It’s inevitable.   Deal with it.
