They can get married anywhere, now whether or not is acknowledged is another thing. Massachusetts has SSM and it is acknowledged by the state, but no where in the US does the Feds recognize gay marriage.

Sadly, gay marriage is only legal in Massachusetts. Thank goodness for liberal states. I'm so happy I live in a place wherein the legislature knows right from wrong. MA also has the lowest divorce rate in the nation.
In NJ gays are afforded all of the same rights as married couples but cannot call themselves "married". It is a civil union in the eyes of the law. In other words, the state cloaks its "equal rights" in prejudice, which kind of nullifies its original intent. NJ does not make couples wait 15 years for a civil union, though.
I think it's a travesty that 49 of 50 states refuse to allow it, and only California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, and Vermont, & Washington, DC allow for civil unions. Marriage was never patented by the religious right. Marrying another adult human being is true marriage. There are those who argue that it's like marrying a horse or a child or having six wives, and no more can I counter their "theories" kindly and fairly. I'd just like to ban them all to a colony far away from the rest of the free world.
Just writing about this makes me a bit nauseous because I am so disgusted that gay marriage is illegal I can hardly speak sometimes. An entire government, an entire country that goes against same-sex marriage is a tragedy. Gays shouldn't have to worry about "acceptance" any more than blacks, whites, Asians, Indians, or Papua New Guineans. What a truly vile state of affairs.

I think that people who are gay can get married in the state of Massachusets! But I think I have to agree with the previous answer-from Ve Brum!

If you ask me you can get married anywhere! But, marriage is not about marriage itself, it's about love and respect the vows, if you aks me! People who are gay, can get married, I think, in the USA, in the state of Massachusets, as far as I know, but I don't know if other states in the USA have that right, I think they do!
I sugest you visit this web site, maybe you should get more information about gay marriages :www.wikipedia.org., and search for "gay" and "gay marriage". I think that will help!

If you want a legal marriage, Massachusetts is the only place.
If you want a church wedding, there are churches all over the country that will perform the ceremony. Gay marriage goes back 15 centuries in Christian churches.

They anticipate that God will decide and punish the united states of a for its backsliding techniques. They overlook that God merely judges communities even as the corruption interior of a community will boost up the merely precise international's corruption to a fee swifter than his acceptable time-line. God suggested that the international will be as evil as even as he destroyed the international with a flood. hence, the corruption of the international's definition of goodness is a steady element so as that does no longer change into that corrupt in the previous God needs it to. If a community's corruption is worse than an acceptable element, it ought to reason an higher element of corruption contained in the encompassing communities until eventually the finished international is corrupt. hence, such communities are destroyed with assistance from God in the type of fashion as to circumvent human beings from accepting such corruption as accepted. imagine of this way: an rather rotten apple will removed from a barrel of apples and destroyed so it truly is would not damage the finished barrel, yet a barrel of truly rotten (or merely bruised) apples will merely have man or woman apples bumped off even as they're worse than the majority. And the finished barrel of apples will be destroyed even as they now no longer have any value to the owner. because this "corruption" of morality is already primary, i have self belief that it truly is merely no longer judged until eventually the Earth's very last judgment. for sure, the commonplace indication of the corruption is the shortcoming of concept that homosexuality is a corruption, yet once you consider that God designed sexuality to be entwined with a particular type of courting (husband and spouse), the merely end it truly is ordinary to come back to is that any deviation from the relationship between sex and God's acceptable type of marriage is a corruption of the morality that God designed for humanity. hence, the initial corruption change right into a lengthy time period in the past even as sex began unraveling its courting with marriage, centuries or millenium in the past even as husbands stopped loving their different halves as they love their very personal bodies.

Nothing against the U.S., but it's too homophobic for me. My fiancee and I are getting married in Canada... what's wrong with Canada?
