I hadn't seen this anywhere else in the guild, so I figured it would be appropriate to list the countries and US states that allow gay marriage, as well as the US states that will recognize gay marriages from other states.
Countries that allow gay marriage:
The Netherlands
South Africa
Canada
Belgium
Spain
Norway
Sweden
Argentina
Portugal
Iceland
Mexico City (only the city)
States that allow gay marriage:
Massachusetts
Connecticut
Iowa
Vermont
Washington D.C. (not really a state but whatever)
New Hampshire
Countries that will recognize gay marriage from other places:
Aruba (Dutch only)
Israel
Mexico (Mexico City only)
Sint Maarten (Dutch only)
States that will recognize gay marriage from other places:
New York
California (limited to their own; long story)
Rhode Island
Maryland
Oh and there is a loop hole in some laws: not all states are allowing people to change their gender under law, but they will not prevent the surgery.
So, if you are M -> F trans and you happen to live in one of those states, you may still get married to a woman. 3nodding
