Same-sex marriage update

Just a list - good news continues all the time. The U.S. government is going to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Double defense there, but - put simply - that's good news.

Adding to the list in my January 2010 post of U.S. states that allow same-sex marriage:
Vermont
New Hampshire
Iowa
Massachusetts
Connecticut
we have:
The District of Columbia

California
is in limbo while the courts fight it out.

There are now three states that solemnize (make legal) Civil Unions:
New Jersey
Hawaii
Illinois (on June 1, 2011)
and three states that recognize marriages performed in other states:
Rhode Island
New York
Maryland

Outside the United States, marriages are performed in these countries:
Belgium
South Africa
Spain
Sweden
The Netherlands
Norway
Canada
Argentina
Iceland
Portugal
and in:
Mexico City
Coquille

Several other countries perform Civil Unions.

I think I have it right...
