The US Supreme Court delivered two landmark rulings that essentially bolster same sex marriage this year. The court knocked down a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thereby granting homosexual couples whose marriages are recognized by their state the same federal benefits – including tax, healthcare, and retirement – as heterosexual married couples. Additionally, the court threw out a separate appeal, effectively reinstating a lower court's decision that gay marriage was protected in California, the most populous state.
There is still no national gay marriage legislation in the pipeline in the US, however, with the court's decision essentially clearing the way for gay marriage in California, there are now 13 states that allow same-sex unions. Numerous countries around the globe already recognize same-sex marriage or the right to civil unions. Here’s the breakdown by region:
