Yes. Effective June 26, 2013, there is no distinction between same-sex marriage and opposite-sex marriage with respect to federal law. Effective June 28, 2013, there is no distinction with respect to California state law.
Each case is different, but the general answer is yes. An American citizen may sponsor a spouse for permanent residency (green card), leading eventually to citizenship.

Do I have to marry a US citizen in America or in my country to receive my greencard?
That should not necessarily have a bearing on your greencard status. When an individual is getting their green card based on marriage, the important part is having a valid American marriage to an American and that can happen in another country if that is where you want your wedding to take place. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-U.S. citizen, the couple will have to participate in a marriage interview so the non-U.S. citizen can obtain permanent residency. The marriage interview is used to assist the immigration authorities in determining the legitimacy of the marriage.
