2012 Elections Yield More Victories for Gay American Rights

2012 Elections Yield More Victories for Gay American Rights
The fight for Gay American Rights continues and the 2012 Elections yield major victories in the ongoing battle.

Maine and Maryland both approved gay marriage as the first two states to approve the notions by popular vote. Main and Maryland are now the seventh and eight states that allow same sex marriage in the United States.

The state of Washington also voted on gay marriage, but results are not immediately determined.

Minnesota defeated a proposed constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage in their state.

As this is still a fight, opposition is always around the counter. "At the end of the day, we're still at 32 victories," says Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage. "Just because two extreme blue states vote for gay marriage doesn't mean the Supreme Court will create a constitutional right for it out of thin air."
