Legal marriage between same-sex couples is now recognized in several European nations as well as in Canada, South Africa and [[Massachusett]]s. In some other states such as Connecticut a more limited recognition of same-sex relationships is available, called a "civil union". Many other states have passed constitutional amendments banning recognition of same-sex marriages performed anywhere and some groups have pushed for Constitutional amendment barring the legal recognition of same-sex marriages.
