refinish69 says:

Gov. Deval Patrick gave the GLBT Community a present on his birthday by signing the bill repealing the 95-year-old statue that prevent out of state couples from being wed in Massachusetts. This is not only a gift to the GLBT Community but to all couples in love. This is another giant step in GLBT Rights as well as Equal Rights for All People!!!
