AHHHH!!! Words can't explain how happy we are right now...but we'll try to explain anyway.

Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee has ordered his state to recognize same-sex marriages that were performed out of state.

As a result, gay couples will enjoy the same benefits in Rhode Island that straight couples do. Same-sex spouses of state employees will becoming their way.

We salute you Rhode Island for your courage and only have one question: Who's next?
