Rhode Island Allows Gay Marriage. 10th State to Do So
Rhode Island became the 10th state to allow gay and lesbian marriages after a 56-15 House vote and a signing by Gov. Lincoln Chafee on the Statehouse steps. The first same sex marriages are set for Aug. 1 as supporters celebrate civil rights progress amid Catholic opposition. Debates highlighted religious voices, with Bishop Tobin urging defeat of the change.
