A History of Gay Marriage

With the ruling on Tuesday by California’s Supreme Court to uphold the ban on same-sex marriages we felt this info-graphic by Good Magazine was appropriate. The graphic visualizes the history of Gay Marriage Bans in the United States.

The ruling leaves five states that allow same-sex marriages— Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and Iowa—and four of those are in New England. The other states on the verge of approving gay marriage or debating it—New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey—are all in the Northeast, making same-sex marriage appear increasingly to be a regional phenomenon rather than a national trend.
