Countries that allow legal same-sex marriages: Spain, Belgium, Holland (Netherlands), South Africa, Canada.
In USA only Massachusetts allows same-sex marriage; Vermont, North Carolina and New Jersey allow only same-sex civil unions

Belgium, Canada, Spain, South Africa and the Netherlands all allow same-sex marriage.
Civil unions, domestic partnerships or registered partnerships offer varying amounts of the benefits of marriage and are available in: Andorra, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Personally..i live in the UK with my american partner (who had to leave the US so we could be together). We got Civil Partnered in summer 2006. Civil Partnership in the UK is like marriage in everyway except name.

The Netherlands offer same sex marriage.... and call it marriage... on exactly the same footing as heterosexual marriage.
Countries that have 'civil partnerships'.... that marriage in all but name.... are Britain, France, Germany and South Africa.
I'm pretty sure other EU countries have it, but I can't remember off hand.

It's legal over here in Britain. Although most churches refuse to take part in the ceremony, but there's registry offices and i know a lovely couple who got married in the city hall in belfast.

Here in Holland it has the same value as for straight people:totally legal.
I will get married next September to my boyfriend.

In Canada it is also legal.

Canada and Spain both do. The UK permits Civil Unions. There are bound to be others but I'm not up to speed
