Is there marriage counseling for gay couples?

It is not common for marriage counselors to only work with gay couples. All marriage counselors that are board certified should be able to treat couples regardless of sexual preference. That said, it is possible to find a marriage counselor who is perhaps popular in the gay community. It would be a good idea to ask around in Kansas by perhaps contacting the local chapter of LGB.


Can a same-sex married couple live in a state where same-sex marriage is not legal?

In the United States, anyone can live in any state they choose. Legally, however, as soon as the same-sex married couples crosses the state line into a state where same-sex marriage is not legal, they cease to be a married couple. They are free to live there and represent themselves as a married couple, but the government will treat them as unrelated household members.
