States set their own laws on who can get married. For example some have restrictions on age, gender, how closely related you are to your spouse, STD tests. Heterosexual cousins can get married in say Kentucky and then return home in Maryland and have their marriage recognized by the state and Federal government.

Nine states and DC have opened up on who can marry to same-sex couples. If you don’t like the laws of a state you either who to change the law or you move. Same-sex marriage is now a winning issue at the polls. Stop believing what NOM says.

I hope this helps.

@ Millard: Balderdash! Overturning Prop 8 would gut any other state bans on marriage equality—after that, it would just be a matter of their rewriting their paperwork. [NB: there's no such thing as "gay marriage"—it's MARRIAGE, period]. As for your 40% will have benefits by the end of the year—ignoring the issue of your ability to predict what the Supremes will decide [could you give us all the next Super Lotto winning numbers, too?], those states which currently allow same-sex marriage, make up, along with DC, only 15.7% of the US population.

SOOOOOOOOOO, missing the point, Mr. Hawk—tens of thousands [at least] MORE couples from the FORTY-ONE states that still don’t allow it will continue to have NO federal benefits unless they have the financial resources to travel to and from a state that does.
