Best Answer

Washington, DC, which is the only city in the United States to have legalized same-sex marriage. The District of Columbia is the only city in the country that is part of any state.

In the United States, marriage laws are controlled by the states, not cities. No city has the authority to pass laws concerning marriage. This is why some municipalities have passed local laws concerning domestic partnerships.
