when will your state pass same sex marriage?

[WalterMitty]

fortunately my state was the first.

[Antonio the Sixth]

April 23, 2013.

OK, if I do California... I guess by 2014.

[Tender Branson]

Whenever the Social Dems and Greens have a leftist majority in the parliament (something that was not the case in the past 33 years) and if the SPÖ gives up their holy Grand Coalitions with the ÖVP.

Or if the ÖVP evolves to a status like "And now ... the ÖVP !"

So, maybe in the 2020s or 2030s.

I see there is no poll option for this ...

[Donerail]

I'll say 2020, probably later though.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Or if the ÖVP evolves to a status like "And now ... the ÖVP !"

Seriously, the ÖVP has no point existing in its current state. Its right-wing electorate has already been swallowed by the FPÖ, Stronach and all, and the SPÖ is centrist enough that a "middle ground" party serves no purpose. They should just disband or adopt some new crazy ideology, like libertarianism or something.

Of course they still have a purpose: Staying a corporate whore/enabler of corporate/bank-favorable policies, their managers and their white-collar employees who think the ÖVP is working in their favor. And farmers of course ...

How can you not have an "after 2020 but within my lifetime" option?  Are you expecting to die by then?

The answer I'm going with is June 2013.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I won't live to see it

[Hash]

June 10, 2003. Seems like Ontario was the third jurisdiction in the world (after Netherlands and Belgium) to legalize it and the first in the country.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

If by pass you mean not done by court action then not in my lifetime.  In a couple of years the Supreme Court will likely get an SSM case it cannot decide except by directly confronting the equal protection argument.  At that point it will likely decide in favor of SSM striking down the law, which will nonetheless remain embedded in the State Constitution for the rest of my life.

Scotland will hopefully do so this summer. It helps us that the anti-marriage titular head was busted for having a boyfriend and been exiled by the Vatican.

^^ This.

Wow, it's been 10 years? I remember writing a paper on it in High School. My how time flies.

[Oak Hills]

Probably sometime in the 2020's, possibly in the 2030's.

[TDAS04]

By 2020 is possible.  If not, most likely during my lifetime.  Times change; if Minnesota voted on it in 2004, it might have been voted against SSM with 60% (Wisconsin passed a ban on both SSM and civil unions with 59%, back in 2006).  Minnesota voters rejected a ban on just SSM in 2012.

As for South Dakota, it's not ready now, but it won't be the last.  It is a religious state, but not in the same way as Arkansas or Oklahoma (South Dakota has more mainline Protestants and Catholics).  The conservatism here also has a libertarian streak.

[Maxwell]

Last 4 or 5 states to do it.

[Adam Griffin]

When the activist judges deem it so.

[Gass3268]

2022 at the earliest, baring court action

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

2018.

[Miles]

I'm not hopeful for either of them.

According to Nate Silver, LA will be the third last state to support it and NC will still be in the last ten.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Pennsylvania would probably approve it by referendum (if we had referendums), but the GOP lock on the state government probably means it'll be closer to the end of the decade.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

At this point, it'd take a constitutional amendment to our state constitution to pull it off.

[MaxQue]

March 19th, 2004, when legalized by Quebec courts.
Quebec' National Assembly passed civil unions on June 8th, 2002 (civil unions = provinces).
Canadian Parliament passed gay marriage in all provinces on July 20th 2005 (marriage = federal).

[Thomas D]

Passed by the voters on November 6, 2012. The first state to do so.

And don't let anyone from Maine tell you otherwise.

PA? I hope by 2020

I guess it comes down to which State certified its results first.
