Congratulations to your brother and his partner. It's a shame that this has to be an issue, as anyone in love should have the right to marry where ever they choose. However, as we know that is not the case. At least there are more options than before.

Homosexuals can get married in Canada, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Iceland, Mexico City, Argentina, and South Africa. However, some places will not recognize the marriage.

In the United States, homosexuals can get married legally in the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa and Washington D.C.

The states that will honor and recognize a same sex marriage that was legally performed includes: Washington D.C., Rhode Island, New Mexico, California and New York.

As the laws have changed with California, couples that were legally joined in matrimony between the months of June and November in 2008 are still valid.

Domestic partnerships and civil unions are allowed in some states. These include: New Jersey, California, Hawaii, Maine, Washington State, Nevada and Oregon. Some have different laws, please see the source for more details.

Countries that allow this: Finland, France, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Israel (limited rights) and New Zealand.

Gays’ weddings these days asked for similar rights as to wedding customs for their society. They could also undergo such legal procedures like marriage registrations and licenses prior to their commitment. Even churches in some states conduct their weddings. Arranged wedding receptions after the wedding ceremony were also catered by the venue’s manager and owner for gays’ and lesbians’ nuptials.

Many states in the United States voted to outlaw gay marriage. But many places in the world allow gays and lesbians to obtain civil unions. A Canadian marriage permit gay weddings, and even in Central and South America, where Mexico City and Argentina authorize same-sex couples all the rights and responsibilities of marriage. March 2010 was when they legalized same-sex marriage in Mexico City, while in Argentina; they started it in June 2010. For more inquiries, please visit:
