Yup. The Nevada State Senate
passed a bill that would repeal a ban on same-sex couple marriages late Monday night. During the debate even a Mormon senator spoke out in favor of same-sex marriage. Another senator came out as openly gay for the first time, describing his parent’s inter-racial marriage and how it would have been illegal under Nevada’s anti-miscegenation law, which was repealed in 1959.
Meanwhile in Minnesota, a state senator who holds what many have seen as a swing vote on Minnesota’s gay marriage bill said Tuesday that he will
vote to legalize it.
Rhode Island took a step on Tuesday toward becoming the 10th state to approve same-sex marriage when a major legislative committee
forwarded a marriage bill to the State Senate. It's expected to pass; all five Republican members of the 38-member State Senate declared support for same-sex marriage.
The movement to legalize same-sex marriage
in Florida is getting some major backing.
All of the above, in just two days. And in just the last two weeks same-sex marriage was legalized in France, Uruguay, and New Zealand, and debate was reopened in the Irish parliament.
Tick-tock.
