NEW ENGLAND GOES GAY!
Mass. gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

In the nation's most far-reaching decision of its kind, Massachusetts' highest court declared today that the state constitution guarantees gay couples the right to marry -- a ruling celebrated with a popping of champagne corks and the planning of spring weddings.

"Without a doubt, this is the happiest day of our lives," said Gloria Bailey, who with her partner of 32 years was among the seven gay couples who had sued the state in 2001 for refusing to issue them marriage licenses.

In its 4-3 decision, the Supreme Judicial Court gave the Legislature six months to rewrite the state's marriage laws for the benefit of gay couples.
