Bluedog, LOL.
Your questions about the geography of Madison, Wisconsin make me laugh. It reminds me that despite the media we export everywhere, the U.S. still shows a picture to the world in which everyone lives in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami or Seattle.
Hmm. . . according to Mapquest, Central Park in NYC is 947.86 miles(1521.45 km), or 15-1/2 hours of driving, away. San Francisco City College is 2097.65 miles(3377.78 km), or 35 hours of driving away. Either way, that's a long way to go for coffee with a girl. :D
The nearest big city to me is Chicago, Illinois. Wisconsin (the 'dairy' state) is the state directly north of Illinois. I live in the southern part of the state about 3 hours away from Chicago.
Madison has a population of about 200,000 people It's a somewhat liberal outpost in Wisconsin, with a large university. The gay population is quite high compared to other midwestern towns of similar size.
I think your friend should get married _here_. It is cold in winter (Oct-Mar), but much cheaper than San Francisco and still gay-friendly.
When you say Aussie law doesn't allow for same-sex wedding, do you mean that it even disallows same-sex ceremonies of marriage?
