Can you name the 6 states that now allow ~same sex marriages in the USA?

Best answer:

Answer by Sillabub
In New Hampshire, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. marriages for same-sex couples are legal and currently performed.
The Coquille Indian Tribe in Oregon also grants same-sex marriage.
State(s) which previously granted same-sex marriage licenses:

In California, same-sex marriages were performed between June 16, 2008 and November 4, 2008, after the California Supreme Court held the statutes limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples violated the state constitution; however, the California electorate then approved a voter initiative that reinstated the ban on same-sex marriage as part of California's constitution. The California Supreme Court upheld the voter-approved constitutional ban. Today, all same-sex unions are given the benefits of marriage under California law, although only those performed as marriages before November 5, 2008 are granted the designation "marriage".[1]
States which recognize same-sex marriage but do not grant same-sex marriage licenses:

In New York, Rhode Island, and Maryland, same-sex marriages are recognized, not performed
