In the USA, yup.
Other states do "same-sex unions" but not actual "mariages".
"Last year, the United Kingdom began allowing civil partnerships. The new legislation does not use the word marriage but does give same-sex couples the same tax and pension rights as married couples....
"Gay marriages are legal only in Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. In the U.S., Massachusetts alone allows gay marriage, while Vermont and Connecticut permit same-sex civil unions."

Mass. is the only state that considers gay marriage equal to straight marriage.
Gay people can get married in any state.

Massachusetts too. and California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Vermont give persons in same-sex unions a similar legal status.

for now, but it'll change soon
once there are an over bearing number of gays and lesbians that want to be married, more states will cave in
