There are 10 states that allow same-sex marriage in the United States today and on Tuesday there will be a bill will be taken up to see if Delaware will become the 11th. The governor Jack Markell vowed to sign the bill if it got passsed by the Senate. There has been many recent victories for gay marriage, and last Friday, Rhode Island signed the bill to allow it. Last November, Maine, Maryland and Washington did the same. However many southern states continue to believe that a marrige union is strictly between a man and a woman therefore this rise in change will not continue down there. The other states that allow same-sex marriage are, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York and Iowa.
