Marriage is also banned by amendments to the constitutions of 29 states, and by statute (state law) in an additional 13 states. It is useful to note that even in some states where gay marriage is banned by amendment or statute, same-sex couples are able to obtain the full legal effect of marriage by entering into domestic partnerships or civil unions which are virtually identical to marriage in every way except that they are not called "marriages."
