Massachusetts Legislature Preserves Equality Marriage 45 — 151; Same-Sex Marriage Ban Shot Down

A heart-felt thank you to the State Legislature for finally putting the nail in the coffin.

Massachusetts citizens stunned and amazed that sanity finally won

"Stick a fork in this issue, it's done," sez one relieved citizen. "Our long state-wide nightmare is finally over."


Who'd you rather hang out with?

It's great to hear about politicians doing the right thing for once. Congratulations to you guys out there.

Yay! *dancing in the street*

Someday, they will do the same thing in NJ.

Nice to see some good news pop up =) Hopefully our efforts in my state will reach similar levels of success one day.

I'm trying not to weep for joy at my desk. It's a great day indeed.

Yay Mass! Unfortunately, I think getting all my friends to move to Boston is going to prove impossible...

A lot of states in New England are edging around it now. I think it's a matter of time for the northeast region. Ten years from now, we're gonna wonder what the fuss was about.

Yay!

Thank you...thank you...thank you...

*beams*

You'd think I did it all by myself, wouldn't you?

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

It's a matter of time. All you need is one.

*twirls you*

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Thank heavens!

*hugs*

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

*wheeee!*

Pity, maybe they'd like to spend some tourist time in-state? *beams*

Seriously, though. This is fantastic news for all of us here in the state.

Those elsewhere grateful for the example Massachutes has set are thrilled as well.

While down here in Texas, we'll still be teaching our kids that getting lots of rest will help them avoid pre-marital sex - in our official state-approved school textbooks.

*sigh* *waves to all the sensible people living in modern times up there*

My home state continues to make me proud.

Woohoo! *dances gleefully*

For some reason, I feel like paraphrasing an old conservative line to the opponents -- "Hey, if you don't like it, leave!" *gives certain conservative states a stare*

I'm glad the precedent will remain alive and kicking. We need a place where it is working to show all others it's possible.

Foothold established.

Holy cow. I wasn't going to say anything earlier but I was fairly sure humanity's worser nature would take hold once again and that the ban would pass.

Every so often people manage to really impress me. This is fantastic news. I wish I were there to participate in the party.
