Thirteen states - CA, CT, DE, IA, ME, MD, MA, MN , NH, NY, RI , VT, and WA - plus Washington, D.C. have the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. In 2012, the legislature in NJ passed a freedom to marry bill, and work is now underway to override the governor's veto.
Six states now offer broad protections short of marriage. CO, HI, and IL, NJ allow civil union, while OR, and NV offer broad domestic partnership. WI has more limited domestic partnership.
