US Supreme Court Paves Way For National Gay Marriage – Christian Right Goes Into Meltdown

NEW YORK -- The US Supreme Court delivered a tacit victory for advocates of gay marriage on Monday, refusing to hear appeals on whether individual states can ban marriage between same-sex couples.


As a result, 11 more states are likely to join the 19 already permitting gay marriage, leaving only 20 to go before the entire nation is draped in rainbow equality. That means roughly 60% of Americans now live in states where gay marriage is legal.

Idaho and Nevada are being blocked still as Idaho asked the SC for a stay and it includes Nevada because the appeals court had consolidated the 2 cases.

This is awesome -- just goes to show how Americans increasingly and correctly view homosexual behavior as natural, normal and harmless.

Nevada is good to go

Idaho is cleared now too........blast off
