The culture is some states is more liberal than in others and in those more liberal states the citizens do not try to control what people do in their private lives. They are more accepting of people who may be different or have different perspectives. Also, religious sects do not have such a strong hold over politics in those more liberal states and religious groups are the number one foes of laws that protect gays.

Why is same-sex marriage illegal in the United States?

Same-sex marriage is not illegal in the United States. It is legal in some states, but not in others. On the federal basis, it is legally recognized, except that for some purposes, the couple may have to reside in a state that recognizes their marriage. In states where same-sex marriage is not legal, it is not legal because of the state marriage statute or, in some cases, because of an amendment to the state constitution.
