Pretty much any state will allow it. They will have to have parental permission, some will allow it with a doctors' confirmation of pregnancy or a court order.

Can you just go to New Hampshire and get married in a gay relationship or do you need something else other than a marriage license when moving from another state?
Gay people may marry in any state that recognizes same sex marriage and that does not have a residency requirement for marriage, and no other documentation is needed. However, your home state may not recognize your marriage (but the Federal government will).It should be noted that in the United States many people are under the impression that proof of your marriage is your marriage "license". That is incorrect. A marriage license is signed and returned to the issuing civil authority by the officiant who performs the ceremony. That is how the marriage becomes registered. Proof of marriage is a marriage certificate or certificate of marriage that can be obtained from the town or county clerk where the marriage license was issued and returned.See related question link.
