Same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 US states.
There are about 14 states that currently still ban same sex marriage.
In those states which allow same-sex marriage, the procedures and requirements are the same as those for opposite-sex marriage.
Same-sex marriage is currently not legal in the United Kingdom for anyone, royal or not.
False. Laws can vary by state due to differences in history, culture, and values. Each state has its own legislative process for creating and updating laws, resulting in variations in laws across states.
Approximately 35 states have an outright ban on same-sex marriage. Several have civil unions, while a few allow marriage.
Yes. None of the states that currently permit same-sex marriage have a residency or citizenship requirement. For example, you do not have to live in Massachusetts to get married in Massachusetts. The same is true of the other states that have legalized same-sex marriage.
We live in a land of freedom, who are they too deny marriages?
No. In those states that allow same-sex marriage, the requirements are the same as for opposite-sex marriage. In the United States, where same-sex marriage is legal, the minimum age for marriage (without parental or judicial consent) is 18. In Canada, the province with the lowest minimum age for marriage is Québec at 16 years of age.
It depends on the state. As of August 2013, 13 U.S. states plus Washington DC allow same-sex marriage.
That type of statistic is currently unavailable. Marriage licenses generally do not identify the sex of the parties.
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.
Currently GLAAD's website says Japan recognizes homosexual marriages performed in other countries, but does not allow for homosexual marriages within their country.
