Best Answer

No same-sex couples have legally married in Petersburg because same-sex marriage is prohibited in Alaska by statue (1996) and amendment to the state constitution (1998). The Supreme Court of the State of Alaska, however, has been handing down decisions that grant same-sex couples some of the rights of married couples, such as property tax exemptions (April 2014) and workers compensation death benefits (July 25, 2014). Oral arguments are scheduled for October 10, 2014 in a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Alaska's ban on same-sex marriage. A decision is expected shortly thereafter.
