Which State will be the last one to hold out on marriage equality?



(reminder that Florida flips next Monday)

Texas?

Mississippi?

Or will the social conservative States all hold out until the Supreme Court puts the final nail in the coffin?

Since it is our cases currently that are out of step with the rest of the Federal marriage cases.

We have some pretty horrible Republican running this state and signs of a hopeful future are not extant.

remaining states until the Supreme Court forces them to accept it.

And even then, they'll probably put up a huge stink about it even though it will do them no good in the end.

It would be ironic to be the last one when Wisconsin was the first state to bar discrimination against gays and lesbians in jobs and housing back in 1982, signed by a Republican Governor no less. How low this state has fallen.

Guess I'm behind the times. Last I had heard the AG was fighting this. I expected them to find some shitty loophole to keep it from happening. Well what do you know a silver lining in a cloudy state.
