Same sex marriage By: Adrienne Healy

There have been battles on same-sex marriage for years now. Will 2013 was the year where legalizing rate of same-sex marriage had spiked up. A pole put out by CNN recorded that 55% of Americans would support a vote of same-sex marriage. Just with them this year "During May Minnesota Delaware and Rhode Island legalized Same-Sex Marriage. On May 2, after same-sex marriage legislation passed in both houses of Rhode Island's legislature, Governor Lincoln Chafee signed the new law. Less than a week later, Governor Jack Markell signed the Civil Marriage Equality and Religious Freedom act, legalizing same-sex marriage for the state of Delaware. On May 13, 2013, in Minnesota, the State Senate voted 37 to 30 in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, a week after the House voted in favor of the new law. Governor Mark Dayton, a supporter of same-sex marriage, signed the bill the following afternoon."

  2. I really wish that all the states would make same sex marrige legal a lot faster. America is for the land of the free, after all. We should be free to marry who we want to.
