Question: Can Gay Couples Get Married?
Answer: Same-sex marriage is an important issue in the gay community. One state in the U.S., Massachusetts allows same-sex marriage, while others have started the debate over whether to legally allow gays to wed. Vermont and California do not allow the full benefits of marriage, but do allow civil unions and domestic partnership respectively. There are several benefits to an actual legal marriage, but a large number of gay couples choose to move in together and live as domestic partners. Several countries around the world legally allow gay marriage, such as Canada, Iceland and Belgium. There is also an increasing number of gay-friendly companies that offer benefits to same-sex partners.
