Locally DC and MD are decent, poor VA. Click "scale by population" after. (www.guardian.co.uk)

What an absolutely strange way to present data -- nm - con_carne May 8, 11:28 9
- Yeah, it really is -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 11:36
- It seemed like it was going for Tufte-esque but i'm not sure it did so fully successfully. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 11:29 2
  - I don't know if Tufte would have gone along with this one. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 11:32 1
    - I'm glad that so many people on ST know who Tufte is but saddened that nobody at my college does. -- nm - ceregon May 8, 11:37
- It's like the most gay friendly the state is, the brighter their colors, until their listing looks like a rainb- aaaaaaah. -- nm - Dr.Vermin sees what they did there May 8, 11:29 2
  - Congratulations, you are now homosexual -- nm - con_carne May 8, 11:31 1
    - How YOU doin'? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 8, 11:33
- I think it's fairly clever, actually. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 11:29 1
  - also nifty if you scale the chart by population -- nm - znufrii May 8, 11:31
VA allows adoption by a single person, and .... nothing else. shocking. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 11:27 4
- Looks like they all allow adoption by a single person. Though I swore that at least one state had (tried?) to ban that as well. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 11:28 3
  - several states specifically ban joint adoption by a same sex couple. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 11:29 2
    - sure, but that is totally different than "allow adoption by a single person". -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 11:30 1
      - I'm just quoting the chart, dude. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 11:30
Ugh, PA, really?! -- nm - znufrii May 8, 11:23 4
- I lived there almost my whole life through college, but it's really a total sh*thole of a state. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 11:24 1
  - guess I've got some work to do over the next many years... -- nm - znufrii May 8, 11:27
- PA is a great example of why I posted this. Not many people truly know... -- nm - MDH May 8, 11:24 1
  - I figured it was bad, but not quite *that* bad -- nm - znufrii May 8, 11:25
