Hi nanders5!

Same-sex marriages are legal nationwide in four countries: 

- Netherlands

- Belgium

- Spain

- Canada

"Status of legal recognition in Europe.Same-sex civil marriages
currently are legally recognized nationwide only in the Netherlands,
Belgium and Spain. Belgium extends all the rights of marriage minus
adoption to same-sex couples. Spain and the Netherlands, on the other
hand, make no distinction whatsoever, and therefore, also extend
adoption rights to same-sex couples."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage

"Same-sex marriage was legalized across Canada by the Civil Marriage
Act enacted on July 20, 2005. Court decisions, starting in 2003, had
already legalized the issue of marriage licences to same-sex couples
in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories, whose
residents comprised about 90% of Canada's population; most legal
benefits commonly associated with marriage had been extended to
cohabiting same-sex couples since 1999."
