Delaware is Now a Marriage Equality State.


MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS THE LAW

By Delaware Dem
The Delaware Senate has just passed HB 75, the Marriage Equality bill, 12 to 9. The vote went as we expected, with Senator Hall Long deciding at the last minute to vote yes. Thank you to her. I know I and others have been tough on her, and I know her vote was not needed and so she could have skipped it or not voted, but she stood up and voted to be on the right side of history. And thank you to Senators Blevins, Bushweller, Cloutier, Henry, Townsend, Peterson, Marshall, McDowell, McBride, Poore and Sokola for your votes today. We will have your back.

Just right of center, my Rep. Pete Schwarzkopf and to his left Gov. Jack Markell.


I couldn't be more proud of my state today. Pete has been an ally and friend for years and Jack threw himself into the equality debate even before running for office as governor.

And so it goes.
