Last night, equality prevailed, bringing marriage equality to Americans in Maine, Maryland and Minnesota, and we're waiting to hear about Washington.

Maine: 

Mainers voted to pass Question 1, which allows loving same-sex couples to legally marry in the state. This law will take effect 30 days after the governor proclaims last night's election results, which won't come until the results are officially tabulated, so we don't yet know exactly when marriage licenses will become available to same-sex couples.  

Maryland:

Marylanders voted to pass Question 6, a referendum allowing same-sex couples to legally marriage. The new law will take effect in Maryland on January 1, 2013. 

Washington

Referendum 74, the marriage equality law would go into effect on December 6.  

Minnesota:

On Election night, Minnesotans struck down an Amendment 1, which would have changed the state constitution to bar same-sex couples from marrying. While Minnesota still has a law that prohibits marriage for same-sex couples, the win on Election Night proves that momentum in the state is behind marriage equality.
