Come to Canada and be married here. Our government has no business the bedrooms of our nation.
"Currently in the United States, Massachusetts recognizes same-sex marriage, Connecticut and Vermont offer equal rights through civil unions, California, Maine, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia offer varying levels of rights with domestic partnerships, and Hawaii has a reciprocal beneficiary law.
Nineteen states have constitutional amendments explicitly barring the recognition of same-sex marriage, confining civil marriage to a legal union between a man and a woman. Forty-three states have statutes defining marriage to two persons of the opposite-sex.
On May 18, 2006, the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on the Federal Marriage Amendment, a proposed Constitutional amendment that would prohibit states to recognize same-sex marriages. The measure passed in committee by a party line vote. The measure was subsequently debated by the full United States Senate, but defeated in a 49-48 vote on June 7, 2006. [1]. It was also defeated in the House the following month."
Same-sex marriage is performed nationwide in:
Netherlands (2001)
Belgium (2003)
Spain (2005)
Canada (2005)
Performed statewide in:
Massachusetts, USA (2004)
To be performed in:
South Africa (by December 02, 2006)

it really depends on where you live. In the united states, the only options that you have are Massachusetts and Vermont. I am not sure what the rules are in other countries, but I do know that Europe is more liberal than the States.

Canada, some parts of europe, Australia allows a "civil union" and a few US states do allow it. Hawaii as one, and I think California might be another. Sad but true, I wish you luck!

I think in Hawaii you can do it. Also, different countries have different rules on this matter. If you do a google search you should find something.
