The biggest one I could think of was LA, and even California defeated equal rights marriage by referendum a few years ago.
Even conservative Canada is often more liberal than liberal America as has been noted several times on this board.
I agree you can't paint everyone with the same brush, but I am pretty confident that even on average we've been ahead of the curve on this one. Heck, even when you look at it worldwide we were the third or fourth country to legalize gay marriage.
