:applaud:2usflag::2party:
Within 3 years approx 30 states could have equal rights even without SCOTUS.
I don’t know how accurate it is and its always changing as the fight for equal rights continues, but it seems from the info I gathered from news sources, legal sites, civil rights/equal rights orgs and lastly pro/anti equal rights sites this where it stands below and its the best I got for now.
Along with the fall of DOMA, the UN pushing for equal rights for gays based on HUMAN RIGHTS, and the 100s of human rights and civil rights orgs fighting this battle we have the following:
Gay marriage is legal in the following countries nationally or in certain areas like us:
Argentina
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Denmark
France
Iceland
Mexico
Netherlands:
New Zealand:
Norway
Portugal
South Africa

Uruguay
14 states and DC have equal rights:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Iowa
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Minnesota
New Hampshire
New York
New Jersey
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington
19 more are in various stages of fighting or establishing a fight for equal rights
New Mexico – is granting equal rights for now and the SSC is going to decided on this month
Court Case(s) in the works to establish equal rights:
Arkansas
Kentucky
Michigan
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Utah
Virginia
Court Case(s) and Legislation in the works, which ever wins first:

Same-sex marriages will begin within days in New Jersey after the state's highest court{state supreme court) ruled unanimously Friday to uphold a lower-court order that gay weddings must start Monday and to deny a delay that was sought by Gov. Chris Christie's administration.
"The state has advanced a number of arguments, but none of them overcome this reality: Same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today," the court said in an opinion by Chief Justice Stuart Rabner. "The harm to them is real, not abstract or speculative."
