for some reason I wasn't surprised at Nevada I was expecting it. As a lover of the concept of spiritual union It was randomly interesting, something I wouldn't have even thought about. Thanks.

I think they miscounted for Arkansas. I don't think it counts if you marry your sister. LOL

Most Gay Couples I know have been together for a decade or more.....and thats without a Marriage.........so, I thinkthe heteros are just scared that LGBT Citizens will show them up when it comes to the REAL Sanctity of Marriage.

In these states I would imagine a woman's worth is based on who she's married to.

Could it be because in most of the states listed you need 2 people to obtain a full set of teeth?

Nothing better for strong family upbringing that 3 or more divorces...and gay marriage would upset family values?

These are primarily what one would consider southern and Christian states - conservative and along the bible belt. What happened to the institution and sanctity of marriage? I'm confused on their portrayal of family values and they words of, "til death do us part".

They've changed that part of the views to, "til someone better comes along."
