"We believe it's unconstitutional not to allow people to vote on this," said Rebekah Beliveau, 24, of Lawrence, a student at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary who stood with fellow college-age amendment supporters across the street from the Statehouse.

"We're standing up not necessarily on the issue of same-sex marriage, but our right to vote," Beliveau said.



Yeah, just like those facist judges on the Brown v. Board decision! How dare they take away our right to vote on whether everybody should have equal rights!



Hah. The condtitutional law classes offered at her seminary seem to be a little lacking.

And Vermont had civil unions years before you massholes came along and had to one up us. Not as good as gay marriage, but it brought the issue to national attention, and paved the way for the Mass decision. Let's not forget who really started the revolution.


Well, if we're playing the "who started it" game.

While I will easily agree MIlk was an incredible person, a hero and/or a martyr what did he start exactly ? He never pushed for any gay marriage rights did he ?

Jean Chandler, 62, of Cambridge, came with fellow members of her Baptist church in an effort to rebuff the image that strict followers of the Bible are opposed to gay marriage."I think being gay is like being left-handed," Chandler said. "If we decided left-handed people couldn't marry, what kind of society would we be?


That actually brought tears to my eyes. I must be getting soft.

I just meant he was as instrumental at getting the gay rights movement started as anyone. And I was just being provincial because he's from my hood.

Well, there are a lot of troubling things here: the fact that there are douchebags out there trying to put unequal treatment up to a popular vote, the fact that these douchebags claim to act under the aegis of Jesus, and the fact that they apparently only respect the legitemacy of representative government when it sides with them. But all that detracts from the moment and the its significance: any day when a representative body can do something like this is a good day for republics, for rights, and for the people who live in those societies. A kudos to the legislators of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

As someone else said, that lays it on a little thick, but it's also true.
