    How far would you travel to marry someone of the same sex? When it comes to your relationship with your loved one, would you be content with a civil union and all the legal benefits and protections it offers, or would you demand nothing less than full marriage equality? Would you leave your state/province? Would you leave your country? Or would you rather wait until it's legalized in your area?

    I'm just curious. My sister and her wife left Texas to get legally married in another state, though of course Texas refuses to acknowledge their relationship. It makes things like filing for taxes and applying for college really difficult.

    Anyway, assuming you want to get hitched at all, how far would you go?

    End of the street. Any further I'm over it...

    I'm not getting married until it is legal in my home state.

    Ugh stupid Texas. Sometimes I hate living here. I'd probably go to NY.

    I'd be happy just to be with that person. I don't need a piece of paper that confirms that I love him.

    Legally, I can get married to another guy in my state. No need to travel past the county line.

    If it were not legal, I probably wouldn't bother going far since the marriage wouldn't be recognized. But I also wouldn't have any problem with having a ceremony and calling it a wedding, even if it's not recognized by the state.
     
  8. Not at all!

    A.) I could if I wanted to
    B.) I don't want to, even if I were with someone I just don't need to.

    I wouldn't travel to get married. I'd rather if marriage became legal where me and my partner would be living together, so that our friends etc could attend. Otherwise it's just a piece of paper which I don't need.

    I wouldn't really need to get married if I am happy with that person. Then again I am planning on moving to Seattle, WA or somewhere near there. I saw it is allowed to have same-sex marriages there. Maybe there.

    I'd go anywhere they wanted (except for those countries in which being homosexual is a crime that warrants death).
     
  13. I'd never get married; I'm quite against it. Civil partnership is the way to go.
