The past two weeks have been monumental in the fight for marriage equality in the United States. To date, 29 states have been approved same sex marriage. Just recently, Idaho, North Carolina, Nevada, Alaska, West Virginia, and Virginia passed legislation for same sex marriage. This will mean much more weddings across the country, boosting the economy.Just recently the Catholic Church shifted in it's views on same sex relationships praising committed gay and lesbian partnerships. These are all huge leaps forward in the fight for equality among LGBT Americans. Currently, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana, and Michigan have ruled their bans on same sex marriage as unconstitutional, but the legislation has not changed. The progress made this month shows a promising future for equality, and we can only hope to see more states extend the rights to their LGBT citizens.
