In the U.S.
- New Jersey lawmakers are attempting to stop a court from hearing a case challenging existing civil unions as separate and unequal. That case is the latest attempt to pave the way for gay marriage in New Jersey.
- Iowa's had gay marriage now for one year and the sky has not fallen. As of the end of 2009, 1773 same-sex couples married, with over 1000 from non-Iowa residents. Illinois alone had 172 same-sex couples marry in Iowa, followed by Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota. Despite opposition by Republican gubernatorial candidates, same-sex marriage appears secure in Iowa for the time being.
- The majority of Californians recently polled now support same-sex marriage. California had gay marriage for six months before its repeal after a ballot initiative in 2008.
Around the World
- Portugal's highest court has approved gay marriage, which now awaits the signature of Portugal's president.
- Mexico City reports 88 gay marriages in the month they've been legal in that city, the first city in Latin America to legalize them.
