MA Lawmakers Gearing Up For Nup Expansion After Senate Vote

Massachusetts continues to lead the nation's gay way:

The Massachusetts Senate on Tuesday voted to repeal an obscure 1913 law that has been used to keep out-of-state same-sex couples from marrying there.

Legislators in the state House of Representatives in Boston are expected to take similar action today, and Gov. Deval Patrick has promised to sign the repeal. The move could allow gays and lesbians from other states to marry in Massachusetts within weeks.
…
Those who fought to repeal the 1913 statute said Tuesday that the move — together with the California court decision — could amplify political momentum nationwide.

So, if that law was penned in 1913, the laws of progressive math say that we'll have full marriage equality sometime around 2,103.

Better call the wedding planner!

Have to agree with Hells on this one, nothing special coming from Gov. Deval here but at least its nice to see he hasn't followed in the same footsteps as the general african American community when it comes to us.

Gov Patrick has been talking about getting this law off the books since he took office, and I recall a lot of discussion about this at the con-con last year. I don't think it's about money.

Duval is black = homophobe. He half-heartedly supports this legislative action only because his daughter is, well, (shush!! don't repeat this:) a lezbo… Of all things!!

Mr. C: You used to respond only in the middle of the night. Now, you're responding at all times of the day.

Did you join the ranks of your bruvas and sistas and drive the unemployment levels to even higher levels?? Eating off my tax dollars now?? Blacks = homophobes = the highest unemployment rates in the US

Bitch (RPCV) you wish I was unemployed. Never that girl. I'm gainfully employed and love it and have been well over 20 yrs!

I don't eat shit off you! You're not worth it.
I can respond whenever. Because it's like that.

So unfortunately SORRY I'm not one of the ones on the unemployment list…….

DUMB BITCH You're a joke!
