The Supreme Court ruled this week that gay couples in Alabama will be allowed to marry in the months leading up to its ruling on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage, while other states continue to uphold bans. Here is how same-sex marriage currently stands in different states:
- California: Gay marriage is legal for couples who are okay with that right being taken away by referendum at any time
- Mississippi: Mississippi became the first state to legalize gay marriage in 1961 and has been a bastion of gay rights since then
- North Carolina: Legal for those who don’t care that they’re killing their grandmother
- New Hampshire: Guilted by Vermont into legalization in 2010
- Kansas: Legal for gay couples to have ceremony in different state and not come back
- West Virginia: Same-sex couples allowed to marry only if they have given opposite-sex marriage a fair shot first
- Nevada: Majority of same-sex couples onto third marriage already
- Michigan: Gay marriage no longer legal, but lawmakers must recognize unions of 300 same-sex couples who got married in 2014 and not be total dicks about it
- Oregon: Legal, if you’re into that whole “labels” thing
- Minnesota: That’s their business, but if they do marry, let’s hope it’s a nice church wedding and not some kinky sex party
- Utah: Holy shit, legal? Wow.
