The state House on Tuesday narrowly approved a bill legalizing gay marriage in Delaware, barely a year after the state began recognizing same-sex civil unions.
The measure cleared the House on a 23-to-18 vote and now goes to the Senate, where supporters and opponents expect another close vote.
Democratic Gov. Jack Markell has promised to sign the bill if it passes the Democrat-led legislature.
Its the right thing to do, said Markell, who met with supporters of the bill in his Legislative Hall office immediately after Tuesdays vote, which saw five Democrats break ranks with their party and oppose the measure.

Good news of course, the bad news is five asshat Dems voting against this.
