This is such good news. With Massachusetts enshrining their progressive and non-discriminatory stand on the same-sex marriage issue, they have opened the way for the Federal government to start reconsidering its poorly thought-out and arguably unconstitutional DOMA. Gay couples in all 50 states are going to begin demanding the same rights as are permitted in Massachusetts. Married couples from that state, when and if they move to another state and declare themselves as married are going to have terrific chances in overturning any anti-gay marriage amendments in states that have imposed such. Same-sex marriage is definitely on the march. Canada has not fallen into the sea since legalizing same-sex marriage two years ago. Massachusetts has none begin consumed in flames since they have legalized gay marriage. People are opening their minds, eyes, and hearts., at last.
