Congratulations New Mexico

Marriage equality

Earlier today New Mexico’s State Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality advocates, making them the 17th 16th state (and the District of Columbia) in the US to recognize same sex marriage.

Denying same-gender couples the right to marry and thus depriving them and their families of the rights, protections and responsibilities of civil marriage violates the equality demanded by the equal protection clause of the New Mexico Constitution.”  – Justice Edward Chavez

Well done New Mexico.  Doesn’t it feel great to be on the side of progress and equality. Which state do we think will be the next to join the 21st Century?

Thanks for sharing the quote Ruy!
