If a ban on gay marriage was on the ballot in all 50 states in 2010

*PA hijacking*

If the 5 Southeastern counties were to secede from the state, I could actually see a lean pass on gay marriage.  Interestingly, I could see Philly proper as a tossup/lean favor with a large population of blacks who are religious and very much against it along with working class ethnic whites.  My guess is Montgomery and Chester would be the 2 most in favor.  Rest of PA, barring possibly Centre or Monroe, would be very much against.  I sadly agree with the PA assessments sofar.

I could however see PA as progressive enough to pass Civil Unions even right now.

Seen several people suggest it would fail in Rhode Island

Rhode Island has a high Catholic %, and I figured most of them would be anti-gay marriage. Guess I was wrong...

Based off what exactly?? 

Catholics I know. Everyone in my Mom's family is Catholic, and they all oppose gay marriage.

New England Catholics are pretty well known for ignoring the church's teachings on liberal positions such as gay marriage and abortion.


Here's my map.  Green=Approve the ban, Red=Against the ban, Gray=Toss-up

I based it heavily off of this graph which was posted on 538 a few days ago:

I just love how some of my fellow conservatives love to think PA is a conservative state outside of Center City, North Philly, and now the Main Line.  Granted we have a long way to go (see Johnstown, PA Palin rally).  More progressive than Delaware and Maryland quite surprises me however.
