Gay marriage is marriage in which both participants are of the same gender. Gay marriages are currently only allowed in the Netherlands, although a small but increasing number of jurisdictions recognize gay civil unions which provide much of the same rights and responsibilites as marriage. An example is the US state of Vermont. Many more areas in the world (usually local municipalites and counties) allow domestic partnerships that have varying degrees of privileges and responsibilites (usually far fewer than those found in civil unions).
