New England has become the epicenter of marriage equality in America with Vermont joining Massachusetts and Connecticut. Six percent of the states now support marriage equality. That’s a small percentage but it’s double the three percent it was a week ago.

Virginia is still far behind these states legislatively, judicially and socially, but as the rest of the country sees that world really isn’t going to end because two men get married and that the sky won’t fall when two women say, “I do” then we’ll experience some climate change of a positive sort.

Congratulations to Iowa, Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts and thanks for blazing a trail for the rest of us to follow!
