It is difficult to determine which are the top ten states. However, the answer to this question must currently be "NO," since same-sex marriage is currently legal in only eight U.S. states plus one city (Washington, DC). So, no matter how you rate states, the top ten are not on that short list. Also, cities do not have their own marriage laws. Marriage is an issue generally reserved for state law.
