It has been a year since Vice President Joe Biden publicly endorsed same sex marriage, followed three days later by a similar endorsement by President Barack Obama.
We are on the cusp of Minnesota becoming the 12th state to allow same sex marriage, with the states adopting it, including::
Massachusetts
Connecticut
Vermont
Maine
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
New York
Maryland
Delaware
Iowa
Washington
Following Minnesota, the following nine states are likely to adopt same sex marriage between now and the end of 2014:
Illinois
New Jersey
Hawaii
Michigan
Oregon
Colorado
New Mexico
Nevada
California
That will mean that 21 states with 45 percent of the nation’s population will have adopted same sex marriage as part of their law.
The only groups that oppose same sex marriage by a majority are:
Less educated Whites
Over 65 years of age
Republicans
Evangelical Protestants
Tea Party Movement
The South and the Great Plains, heavily Republican, are united against same sex marriage, while the New England and Mid Atlantic states, some of the Midwest, and the Pacific Coast, predominantly Democratic, are for it!
