And today, Alaska. I'm kicking myself that I did not start an office pool for what state will be last.

Alaska was the first state to have a constitutional ban. History hasn’t judged well those who are the last to turn off the lights of discrimination. My money would be on Alabama though.....which was also the last state to end laws against interracial marriage.

have two friends who are using a female elvis and doing renewals in a vintage Pink Cadillac in Las Vegas in two weeks.

I keep thinking Louisiana, very Catholic.

I'm going with Texas. Last state in the union to inform slaves "hey, you're free now".

Winner gets a beer from the pool.

If I read it right, AZ just got their ban overturned.

Montana too. But then they weren't already in our beel pool.

Hoping FL gets on board before we move, it will be really weird to go from recognized to officially unrecognized.

I agree with this one, especially as long as we have yahoos like Perry and Cruz.

I think it was a couple of months after the end of the civil war when it took a Union General and his troops to convince Texas to free slaves.

The problem with Texas and also Louisiana and Mississippi may be that they are in the very conservative 5th circuit court of appeals which hasn't ruled yet on the Texas ban.

Hence why we have Juneteenth.

Mississippi may be out of the beer pool soon. Can we believe it? Mississippi?

Mississippi before FL. *sigh*
