With this Rhode Island will stay the only New England state to not have gay marriage. None of the bills legalizing gay marriage advanced to the floor this session, mimicking a trend started in 1997.
A poll from last month showed 60% of people in Rhode Island favored gay marriage and 75% would favor civil unions. So maybe a vote would be a good idea in the future. Rhode Island is heavily catholic and those leaders are very much against gay marriage. As I see in western Europe though, often catholic people don’t listen to their church leaders that much. Protestant do that a lot more in the Netherlands, but I don;t know how that works in the U.S.
