The state of marriage equality, graphically speaking

The Wall Street Journal News Graphics team tweeted out this interesting graphic:

There are 17 states that provide full marriage rights to same-sex couples, along with another four that provide some level of rights and benefits. The 17 states represent 36.1 percent of the population and all but one — Maine — are represented in the U.S. Senate by at least one Democrat. Maine is represented by Republican Susan Collins and independent Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats.
