Same-sex marriage was on the ballot in four states this November. Voters in Maine, Maryland, and Washington approved ballot initiatives to recognize same-sex marriage, while voters in Minnesota rejected a measure to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, according to the National Conference of State Legislators (NSCL). Once the new laws go into effect, 10 states, plus the District of Columbia, will permit gay and lesbian couples to marry.
