After Rhode Island's state senate judiciary committee approved a bill yesterday which would legalize marriage for same-sex couples, the legislation went to the full state senate for a vote, and it passed 26-12!
Governor Lincoln Chafee has promised to sign the bill, which will make Rhode Island the 10th state, in addition to the District of Columbia, to legalize same-sex marriage—a number that will now include 100% of New England.
Congratulations, Rhode Island!
