Legal marriage is universally denied to same-sex couples at this time.
Ceremonial marriage is possible almost everywhere in the world.
The individual congregations in the U.S. listed on our Web site are more than willing to perform same-sex ceremonies. To find more such congregations, we suggest contacting the MCC, Quaker, Unitarian, and Reform or Reconstructionist Jewish organizations. Many of these religious groups ask couples to go through an assessment period, to determine suitability for marriage, which can take place over several weeks or months. Rings or other symbols where carried by 57 percent of the women and by 36 percent of the men. One Unitarian Universalist reverend, however, told us that each of their services are unique, reflecting a couple's personal spiritual depth and direction.
