The following states have laws that ban gay marriage and limit marriage to one man and one woman (but it is not in their constitutions):

•Arizona-- listed above (dual statutes)
•Delaware
•Florida
•Hawaii
•Illinois
•Indiana
•Iowa
•Maine
•Maryland
•Minnesota
•North Carolina-- listed above (dual statutes)
•Pennsylvania
•Washington
•West Virginia
•Wyoming

From what I can find out there have been at least 28 state elections on the matter by popular vote and the record is 28-0 against.
Show me where they had a vote on it, and the people voted. A lot of these states have had this on the books for years, and no vote has been brought up as of late. The elected officials have made most of these laws, but the voters haven't had it brought before them recently.
