If by "illegal" you mean "against the law," then none. There is no state in the US where same-sex marriage is considered a crime. In fact, in most US states, same-sex marriage is legally recognized. (See related questions below: "What US states have legalized same-sex marriage" and "What US states have banned same-sex marriage.")
If you want to marry your existing domestic partner, then you may do so. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage. If your existing domestic partnership ("DP") is a state-registered comprehensive domestic partnership, then you cannot marry in a state that offers state-registered comprehensive DPs. You also cannot marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage, since these recognize your DP as an existing marriage. If your existing DP was state-registered in Wisconsin, then it does not prevent you from marrying in another state. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage. If your existing DP is a municipal- or county-registered DP, then it does not prevent you from marrying someone else. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

Yes. If you are part of a same-sex couple, or likely to be one during your life, then same-sex marriage is an important issue.

In states that have legalized same-sex marriage, life continues on as usual with few changes, except for same-sex married couples.
