This is a really great visual(s) on 6 key issues presented by bloomberg showing how states take on key issues and then the pace of adoption before federal action: > **[This Is How Fast America Changes Its Mind](https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-pace-of-social-change/)** > > As the Supreme Court considers extending same-sex marriage rights to all Americans, we look at the patterns of social change that have tranformed the nation. i’m partially posting this because i can’t look at it as thoroughly as i want to right now and i want to look at it in more detail late 🙂 ---

I WAS studying for a cert, till you had to go and muck things all up. 😛 One thing I note is the rapid acceptance of change found in the 20’s, early 70’s and again recently. Correlation is not causation, but social change seems to play a role in economic strength. ---

Can you get gay married anywhere in Canada? I mean, if you can, it’s probably not allowed anywhere near the capital of Toronto ---
