The Marriage Equality Flag

Taking a page out of the leaf of the women's suffragist movement of the 19th century, marriage equality activists have placed stars to represent the state's in which same-sex marriage is (or will be soon) legal.

The states on the flag are usually read from right to left (and top to bottom) in the order that they entered the Union, so they are: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Iowa.
