Note: Alabama is not shown, as the state’s Supreme Court has halted probate judges from issuing marriage licenses in response to a federal court ruling that allowed same-sex couples to marry there.

In 2004, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that the state‘s same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional, making it the first state where gay couples could marry. A few mostly northern states followed.
Gay marriage proponents were buoyed in 2013, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government must recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where it is legal.
Since 2013, same-sex marriage became legal in 28 more states, many after state and federal court decisions lifted bans. The Supreme Court's ruling on whether the U.S. Constitution gives gay couples the right to marry in all states is expected by June.
