Marriage Equality: Legal* in as Many States as Not.
Axe the Asterisk!
Although evolving toward a new norm the current state of marriage-equality in the United States is somewhat confusing. In some states marriage-equality is legal and practiced whereas in others, though legal, the practice is suspended pending further court review. What can be clearly stated is that as of today about 210 million Americans (66% of the population of the United States) still live in states where the right to marry is restricted on the basis of gender-preference.
