Gay marriages are not legal at the federal level of government in the US.
Gay marriages are legal at the state level in Massachusetts only.
Vermont, Connecticut, & New Jersey have civil unions which provide some, but not all, of the rights and responsibilities of marriage at the state level.

now no longer in all places. the day earlier at present's ruling ameliorations no longer some thing in words of legality of gay marriage. that's licensed in undemanding words in those states the position the state legislature has surpassed a legislations making it so. the federal authorities has no longer some thing to assert about legality of gay marriage. that's not interior their jurisdiction. that's a state capture 22 problem.

Legal yes, but only recognized by Massachusetts and even that is on the state level. Some places have civil unions but again only on the state level.

For some strange reason, no.
Apparently granting this civil right seems to be too difficult for american lawmakers.
Civilized countries however (like Canada) extend this right to all people, not just hetero couples.
