Can I Marry Gay?
Gay marriage laws are getting complicated, so I created this site to help me keep track of it all. It simply looks up your location based on your IP address, and explains your local state laws related to gay marriage. Currently limited to the US.

Thanks Greg Nog. I've updated NH. I knew that was moving forward, but didn't realize it was happening so quickly. Hopefully I can keep on top of changes better going forward.

must.imarrygay.com is a nice element, and a good way to round out the site, too. Cheers!

I think that this Project will feature as a link in many a future AskMe question.

Your IP lookup thinks I'm in California, but I am in Nevada. Other IP lookup sites don't make this error, so something funny is going on there.

falconred, you can correct the IP lookup at hostip.info, the open database I'm using.

Says "Maybe" for me, which is wrong... but I'm in Canada. Nice, though!

I'd like to see "Should I marry gay?"

I'd like to see people use something like this to find the closest place they can get gay-married near to where you are, and then go get married there, regardless of whether they're gay or not. Like, say, give me a map where I can see that if I live in California, I can drive to ______ to get married and support their economy and choice to allow gay marriage, instead of supporting California.
