Question asked by sandra (54 years old homosexual woman from United Kingdom (Great Britain), United Kingdom (Great Britain))

Question answered on September 9, 2009 by

Sorted in Immigration, Gay Marriage, Questions

Dear Sandra, Since Illinois is not a state where gay marriage is legally allowed, I would recommend that both of you move to a more tolerant U.S. state, such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa or Vermont, all of which permit same-sex marriage.

Dear Sam, I don't mean this to sound condescending, but... DUDE! You're only 13!
