Good Gay News!! (originally posted on facebook 11/19/2013)

So much good news I can barely keep up. Last year at this time six states and DC allowed gay marriage. The number of places with marriage equality has more than doubled in just one year. And apparently Illinois is next, can't wait to see which states take the plunge in 2014. 

Take a look at a map, there is an unbroken string of states, going from Maryland to Maine (wake up Pennsylvania). And though on the map it looks small, these states comprise a third of all people living in the US. 

The sad, or in this case, the happy fact of history is that by having so many states enact such absolutist laws against gay people, the only direction is up. There will only be more states embracing equality, and those against it will be increasingly on the defensive. So that's a reason to smile.
