Question: Which American States Allow Gay Marriage?
A few years ago, the idea that even one American state would allow gay marriage, seemed pretty far fetched. Today we have several.
Answer:
As of 2009, gay men and lesbians could marry their same sex partners in:
- Massachusetts
- Connecticut
- Iowa
- Vermont
- New Hampshire
New York recognizes marriages by same sex couples that are legally performed in other places. And while California briefly allowed gay marriage, Prop 8, stripped same sex couples of this right. Similarly, in 2009 a recent law allowing gay marriage in Maine was repealed after the November election.
