Same-sex marriage is either legal in a state or it isn't. For example, in New York, it is legal. Therefore, where married couples are eligible for conjugal visits, the gender of the spouses is irrelevant. Where inmates can marry on prison grounds, the gender of the spouses is irrelevant. In a state like Tennessee, same-sex marriage is not legal and the prison system likewise does not recognize such marriages.
