Take THAT Right Wing!

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court said today that Civil Unions may be separate, but certainly aren't equal. The state Senate asked for clarification on the issue of Gay Marriage, and the court affirmed that by marriage it means marriage.

"The history of our nation has demonstrated that separate is seldom, if ever, equal," they said in their advisory opinion.

This issue is far from dead. States will be battling among themselves for a while, then the Federal Government will get involved. But the bigger issue is the Massachusetts Constitution. The issue of an amendment will come up at next week's constitutional convention. I hope it dies there, if not, I hope it dies before it's put before the voters.

I'm confident voters will eventually reject it, but I'm not going to leave anything to chance.
