What state does not allow gay marriage

No state can invalidate your marriage!

In nine states, lawmakers include proposed resolutions or bills to roll back marriage equality protections in a direct challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges. While states appreciate Michigan, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota urge the Supreme Court to revisit its historic 2015 choice, others such as Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee possess introduced bills identifying a new category of marriages solely between heterosexual couples. 

We know this is frightening for many people in our community. At the same time, we want you to know that these measures are petty more than political theater. These offers, if passed, will not prevent gay couples from marryingin any state or invalidate anyone’s current marriage. The U.S. Supreme Court dictated in 2015 that the U.S. Constitution guarantees all couples, including same-sex couples, the freedom to marry. As a result, same-sex couples can marry in every state today.  

The constitutionally-protected freedom to marry can only be changed if a case comes before the Supreme Court and a majority of Justices vote to overturn the court’s marriage equality decision. Right

    As the Respect for Marriage Act moves through Congress, MAP’s March 2022 report on the landscape of varying state marriage laws around the country is a resource. MAP researchers are available to reply questions and our infographics are available for use.  

    MAP’s report, Underneath Obergefell, explores the patchwork of marriage laws around the country. The report highlights the proof that a majority of states still have existing laws on the books that would ban marriage for same-sex couples – even though those laws are currently unenforceable under the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell.  

    If the U.S. Supreme Court were to revisit the Obergefell decision, the ability of same-sex couples to wed could again fall to the states, where a majority of states still have in place both bans in the statute and in state constitutions.
