In a landmark ruling, the Massachusetts house of representatives voted 118-35 in favor of repealing a 1913 law, originally written to discourage interracial marriage, that prevented the state from marrying out-of-state same sex couples. What a day for liberty and justice for ALL!

Thank God! Now only if the rest of the union can follow suit and allow gay marriage too!

Gay unions are destroying the sanctity of marriage!

Meanwhile I'm going to Vegas, snort a line of coke and marry a hooker at a drive-thru.

homosexuals should not be allowed to participate in benefits and entitlements that were put in place to protect families.

Protect Families? How will this even affect you at all!!!!!

What is the difference between a gay family and a straight family? NOTHING!!!

Both love each other, both love their children, both want to live in a great community with good schools and raise their kids in the best country on earth and both want happiness.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE??

And don't say "because the Bible told me so" because creating a federal ammendment which prefers Christianity over the rights of the entire population is unconstitutional.

What are you Christians sooo afraid of? NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

You can still live you in suburbia and your kids can still go to Catholic school and you can stlil attend mass on sundays, meanwhile you are denying the rights of citizens of this country to pursue their right to happiness. Despicable.

I dont normally debate with 12 year olds but you sound earnest in your quest for knowledge. Social Security and insurance benefits didnt take into account the possiblity that they would have bank roll every wierd special interest that crawls out of the woodwork.
