squirelawrenceOr five? Or possibly six, depending on how you count these things. Maine's governor signed the legislature's bill legalizing same-sex marriage today. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/06/maine.same.sex.marriage/index.html
The counting gets a little abstract depending on how you count New Hampshire, which permits civil unions but not marriage, and Vermont, which has apparently passed a law legalizing same sex marriages which won't take effect until September.
I'm actually starting to wonder if Congress will override the Washington City Council bill recognizing same-sex marriage. I'd been betting that it almost certainly would, but I'm beginning to wonder if it has a chance. That would amuse me to no end.
