Where can a same-sex couple marry in the state of Louisiana?

Legally, nowhere in Louisiana can you get a gay marriage. You would have to go out of state, but even then it would not be recognized in Louisiana. You could get married to a man anywhere in Louisiana, but I doubt that's what you're looking for. As a side, you would have to write a will if you wanted to have your partner have control over things in case of death or incapacitation, such as hospital visitation rights, control of remains, etc.
