LGBT rights in Guam
Guam became the first overseas territory of the United States to recognize and perform same-sex marriages in June 2015. On June 5, 2015, Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood of the United States District Court for the District of Guam ruled that Guam's prohibition on same-sex couples marrying is unconstitutional. She cited the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in "Latta v. Otter" striking down identical bans in Idaho and Nevada. The territory began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples four days later. The Legislature passed the "Guam Marriage Equality Act of 2015" on August 11, 2015, making Guam's marriage laws gender-neutral.
Deez Nuts (politician)
Deez Nuts believes that residents of American overseas territories deserve voting rights. He has expressed the need for the people of American Samoa to become citizens of the United States and receive one electoral vote, due to its status as an unincorporated territory (American Samoans are currently U.S. nationals, but not U.S. citizens). Nuts would give Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands two electoral votes and give Puerto Rico three electoral votes, bringing the total number of electoral votes to 548 from 538. Nuts also believes that all five territories and the District of Columbia should each have their own one voting representation (as opposed to a non-voting delegates) in the House of Representatives, bringing the seats in the House to 441 from 435.
