Is it true, gay marriage does not grant citizenship, even if it's legal in that state?

M$However, in the context of your question, I believe that you mean state residency, rather than citizenship. Due to the limited number of states that currently allow gay marriage, the main issue is the length of time that one must remain in a state before one is deemed a resident, for the purpose of marriage. Nevada is one state where one's citizenship starts the day that one becomes physically present, within certain parameters. However, Nevada doesn't currently recognize gay marriage.
To answer your question, you would need to know the residency requirements of the states that currently do recognize gay marriage. You may wish to consider moving permanently to one of them. In the "state by state" link below, note that the states with red dots recognize gay marriage.
