Can two lesbians get married?

Where can they do this?

Some people believe that homosexual relationships arent serious and lead to nothing. However, it was proved that many lesbian couples do have serious intentions and want to get married. If for heterosexual couples getting married is not a problem, for homosexual ones this is a vital issue. They want to get the same rights and responsibilities but dont have opportunity to accomplish this.

This problem is the most important for those who fight for lesbian and gay rights. All homosexual communities try to join their forces in this fight.



Unfortunately, there is no good news for lesbian couples.
Nowadays only one state in the USA offers the opportunity to get married legally. The couple could be married only in Massachusetts. But the trouble is that such marriage wont be recognized in any other state. So if you are going to go to Massachusetts with the aim of getting the same rights as everyone has, you should be ready that your new-gained rights will not have power beyond states border

There are also some other places, where you can get a kind of protection. Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey and California can offer only some rights and opportunities to those who need to be recognized somehow. Legal protection in these states is provided by Civil Union. Civil Union offers only some of the rights on a state level.

This information is uninspiring. But if choosing this way, you should be ready to face many problems. Coming out is one of the most difficult decisions. But for many homosexual couples it is not enough to be recognized by their close people, friends and co-workers. They need public acknowledgement. They want people to consider their relationship not an ordinary dating, but a true loving family.

Its not a secret that rather often homosexual couples are discriminated because of their sexual orientation. They really dont have basic rights. A gay or a lesbian can be fired from the work-place only because of gender identity. And its considered legal in majority of the states. Homosexuals and bisexuals can be uprooted from their homes because of their sexuality. And it will also be accepted as a legal procedure. Moreover, gays and lesbians lack the right of having children. For instance, they are not allowed to adopt children in Florida.

But you shouldnt give up.
There are many communities that fight for gay and lesbian rights. So, you can join one or even several of them. This way, youll feel that you are not alone and many people have the same problems. There youll get more information and moral support. Members of your local organization will advice how to obtain maximal rights and equality.

But if you want to get married with your beloved person by all means, you can choose emigration. There are several countries where youll be legally recognized. Be ready to overcome many barriers on your way. Decide what you appreciate mostly in your life.

Nowadays everything is changing with a high speed.
The fight for womens right to vote took so many years and efforts. But women achieved their aim. Their perseverance was rewarded.
Today many people have joined their forces to obtain equality.

Dont loose your hope and remember that there is nothing that a woman cant win!
