Gay Marriage Law Status

Posted on Saturday 6 November 2004

Kenneth Easwaran at Cardinal Collective has compiled the above map showing the current status of laws regarding same-sex marriage in the US and Canada. Light blue states/provinces allow gay marriage, whereas dark blue recognize marriages from other states. Light red have constitutional amendments prohibiting same-sex marriage, where dark red ones have laws forbidding it. Purple and green states have some provision for civil union or marriage equivalent, and white states have no laws specifying same-sex union.

Like the author, I’m hopeful that Rhode Island’s legislature will follow next.
