Depends on how you define marriage. Also, it has tax benefits and such, so the government doesn't want to legalize gay marriage, apart from the moral interpretations and legal things.

I'm not really sure if marriage is a federal issue right now.  It will be a federal issue if the right-wingers get their way and change the Constitution.\n\nIt will be legal on a state by state basis when enough people realize that the only real argument against it is of a religious nature and that there is a constitutional separation of church and state.\n\nThink about it, gay people should have the same rights as every other American and allowing them to be legally married would harm no one!

Yes, you can marry smeone who is in the country as a tourist, and afterwards apply for legal permanent residence, which does not require a lottery number. See the site below for the process.

Yes. \n\nAs long as the bride or the groom is baptized Catholic then the couple can be married in the Catholic Church. \n\nIf one is not a Catholic, then you may have to get permision from the bishop.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Gay people exist and many want to get married. The only thing stopping them are homophobics and politicians. And personally I don't think either homophobics or politicians have enough intelligence to make decisions on such things :)

almost every country where homosexuality is legal will accept asylum seekers, but it is not easy.  you must prove that your life is in danger if you don't leave the country you are in.  I have heard that Denmark, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, and Belgium are the most likely to grant political asylum for homosexuals.  It is my understanding that the process in the United States is extremely difficult.

You could start by taking a look at the official site:\nhttp://www.cic.gc.ca/ (Citizenship and Immigration Canada).\nThere are many paths that you might take (including the marryage).\nHave fun and hope you'll get there.

Estimates are between 5-10% of the population is gay, anywhere.  Geography has no effect on sexuality, but local cultures may make it harder in some countries to be "out"\n\nIllinois is no higher or lower than any other state in the USA, Canada, or Mexico

Yes, if you are married outside the U.S. you are married anywhere on the planet.

You can marry whoever you want to marry. That isn't an issue. The issue comes into play when one of you wants to move to the others country. That is NOT easy, and usually takes months for one to be able to move. During the time of the paper work being gone over by some faceless person in government, neither of you will be allow to enter the others country. The government doesn't trust that you won't stay illegally. Also there is NO guarantee that the one moving, will be allowed in the others country. My fiance and I are going through this right now. I'm moving to the States (or hope to) He's not allowed in my country. I sure wish he was Canadian or I was American.

I can't imagine.  I believe that marriage is a religious thing.  Civil unions are what the government should offer -- to everyone.  Churches should perform the weddings -- therefore, the Southern Baptists would not have gay weddings, but the United Church of Christ would.\n\nAnd then maybe everyone could be happy.\n\nAnd by the way, thank you for your support.  My partner and I have been together nearly 15 years.\n\nThank you again.\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY

hello, \n\nYou have a couple choices.  You may apply for Canadian Permanent Residence once you have married your finace.  While this is pending (which may take a while dpeending on the Consulate/country of origin) you may enter canada as a visitor.  without knowing what country you are from, you may eithr need a visa to enter or you may simply request a visitor visa at the border. \n\nYou may look at the family immigration section at www.cic.gc.ca

You want to marry a Canadian lady? WHY...probably just to get into this wonderful country. Sucks to be you.

You should really check with Canadian Immigration before you get married.  I don't believe just marrying her ensures that she can come.  It might depend on where she is immigrating from, whether she has a criminal record of any kind, ie, even so much as a DUI infraction.  I know a Canadian woman who married a man from Trinidad and she did eventually get him here but it took approximately 3 years.  Go to the Canadian Immigration website and check what it says there.  Also, might give them a call if you want to talk to someone there for further answers to your specific situation.
