Canada is one of several countries that allows gay marriages. Massachusetts is the only state that does. Vermont and Connecticut allow civil unions.

gay marriage is not legal in USA. Try getting married in Canada, Spain, Netherlands or Czech.

From out of state, you can use the license right away.  Your officiant will send the license back to the courthouse after the ceremony.

Massachusetts definitely. And yes, it will be interesting to see what the rulings are when people married in MA move elsewhere.\n\nBelgium, the Netherlands, Spain (!!!), and Canada. South Africa is under court order to extend marriage rights by the end of this year (not sure where that stands just now).\n\nNew Jersey has a court ruling too, requiring the legislature to guarantee same-sex couples the same rights as hets. The legislature has six months to decide whether that will be marriage or something else.\n\nThe UK does NOT have same-sex marriage, only civil partnerships and religious ceremonies are prohibited at the registration. That distinction matters because it makes the discrimination more tolerable.\n\nSomewhat dated, so it doesn't include the NJ case, but a great concise overview of the history.\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4081999.stm

well, the gay thing rules out my first choice, a church, but u could get involved in the community. Join an organization in the town, there is bound to be at least one lesbian in the town.

Not sure if its possible but do know that you have to get your marriage certificate in the county where you live, so it would have to be through your local governments website.\n\ni.e Can't get a marriage licensce from Brooklyn if you don't like in New York.

I would check the Internet for community groups or organizations within a reasonable distance near your town. \n\nThere are many great accepting gay organizations nation wide that would welcome you with open arms. \n\nWho knows? Maybe you will find Mr. Right there. \n\nGood Luck - Jude

Boy are you inviting grief asking that in this forum...  However, my heartfelt answer is: Where-ever you find love, why not be allowed to make that committment?\n\nI don't see how the government letting you marry the person you love in any way threatens me and my marriage and my family - I would still choose a heterosexual relationship whether or not gay marriage is legal - so my family life does not need defending from your legal status.  I truly believe that you would not chose this lifestyle if you had a choice.  \n\nGood luck to you.

Massecheshits is the only state that allows gay marriage. New Jersey has just had a ruling in its courts that say that a gay marriage is valid. The Federal government does not recognise either so don't expect spousal pension benefitsif your partner dies.

At this time, it's not federally recognized. Because of this, couples legally married in other countries or in states which do recognize same sex marriage cannot transfer their marriages from one state to another, nor can immegrants have their same sex marriages from other countries recognized in any state.\n\nThere is ONE state which currently has legalized same sex marriages and one state in which it's state Supreme Court has ruled that it is legal.\n\nMassachusetts has legal same sex marriage, but you must be a legal resident of either Massachusetts or Rhode Island to qualify and they do not recognize out of country same sex marriages.\n\nNew Jersey's State Supreme Courts just ruled last month that same sex marriage should be legal in that state. They have six months to make legal arrangements to make it available. They haven't even begun to decide how to go about this process yet. \n\nVermont has Legal Civil Unions, these are NOT the same as legal Marriages and do not carry the same legal rights, priveledges, protections or benefits as legal marriage. \n\nHope this helps some.

You need to find out what is required for a marriage license where ever you choose to have the ceremony and find an officiant that is available.  Once those 2 things are squared away you probably just need a couple of witnesses.  Good luck!

I would suggest you check out the local GBLT centre. Here is a site that may be helpful. It lists a host of places/organizations you can go to. Good Luck!
