Yesterday the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to hear a petition brought by a same-sex couple seeking to strike down the State’s constitutional ban on gay marriage. A separate Federal lawsuit filed by eight same-sex couples remains pending in the Western District of Wisconsin in Madison. Nineteen states now allow same-sex marriage. These states include:
- Massachusetts
- California
- Connecticut
- Iowa
- Vermont
- New Hampshire
- New York
- Washington
- Maine
- Maryland
- Rhode Island
- Delaware
- Minnesota
- New Jersey
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- New Mexico
- Oregon
- Pennsylvania
Every state which does not allow same-sex marriage has pending litigation challenging the ban.
