Just a few days ago the National Organization for Marriage didn't seem to be all that concerned that Rhode Island passed marriage equality. Even so they were raising money to hold the line at the next state. I commented that NOM had better act fast because Delaware was set to vote.
And so they did. They're the 11th state to approve marriage equality. Now please compare the state flag in this image (then scroll down to the photo of the signing ceremony) with this one.
And Minnesota is hard on Delaware's heels. The House passed the bill 75-59 (it was expected to be the tough chamber). The Senate will take it up perhaps on Monday.
NOM did fight hard in Minnesota last fall, failing to get a gay marriage ban into the state constitution. One can hope with this state voting for equality NOM will no longer be viable.
And Illinois is waiting in the wings.
I had reported that Pat Brady, chair of the GOP in Illinois, supported marriage equality and other GOP leaders tried to oust him and failed. Well, a second attempt succeeded.
