    It's illegal in 44 states. Too many to name. It's legal in New York Iowa Connecticut New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts.

    It's not really "illegal", in the sense that it is a crime, anywhere.

    Most States do not recognize Gay Marriages and will not issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Only a handful (5 or 6 I believe) of States will issue marriage licenses to gay couples. When people say they want to legalize gay marriage, it just means they want States to recognize the marriages.
