...who proudly (with my wife also) voted for LGBT marriage up here in Maine believes that 13 may possibly be reached by the end of June! I hope so, at least!

My guess is that 13 is the number of states needed to insure that any amendment to the Constitution banning LGBT marriage would be defeated. I say this because I remember the right wing circle jerk of celebration in the early 70s when the 13th state rejected, or better stated, refused to ratify the lamented and missed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The idiotic "logic" of the teabagger's forebearers was that womwn didn't need equal protection.

Thank you for posting!

PEACE!
