Answer #4

Same sex marriage is allowed in these countries: Argentina Belgium Canada Iceland Netherlands Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden Also, Same-sex marriage in the U.S. state of Massachusetts began on May 17, 2004, as a result of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruling in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health that it was unconstitutional under the Massachusetts constitution to allow only heterosexual couples to marry. Massachusetts became the sixth jurisdiction in the world (after the Netherlands, Belgium, Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec) to legalize same-sex marriage. It was the first U.S. state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. http://funadvice.com/r/14pi8eu15hp

Answer #5

I live in South Africa, and it’s not legally allowed in this country

Answer #6

Nope, sorry I was wrong, it is allowed since 2006. My bad.

Answer #7

Same-sex marriage became legal in South Africa on 30 November 2006 when the Civil Union Bill was enacted after having been passed by the South African Parliament earlier that month. A ruling by the Constitutional Court on 1 December 2005 had imposed a deadline of 1 December 2006 to make same-sex marriage legal. South Africa became the fifth country, the first in Africa, the second outside Europe, and the first republic to legalize same-sex marriage. http://funadvice.com/r/bfvmtpf7qj2

Answer #8

That’s okay :)

Answer #9

It has been legal in New Zealand since 2004

Answer #10

Actually they can’t at the moment, those who got married when it was legal are still legally married, and although prop 8 was struck down right now there’s still arguments going on, they’re still in court as far as I know.
