Aloha, Marriage Equality.

Hawaii today embraced marriage equality.  This is especially fitting for a number of reasons: one the Aloha state was the first to embrace a tentative step towards this goal, which caused the Right-wing to go nuts and Bill Clinton to foolishly go along with the Defense of Marriage Act.  But 20 years later, all is well.

It's also appropriate because Hawaii is the birth place of our President, and not coincidentally, the state that gave him the highest percentage of its vote in both of his campaigns.  This removes the one anomaly from the table I posted last time, and have updated below.

The Dark Blue states have marriage equality.  The 14 places that gave the highest percentage of their vote to the President, all have marriage equality.  Three of his next eight best states also have it. The remaining 29 states do not.
