I feel confident that the voters of Massachusetts would strike down the amendment by a fairly comfortable margin.

Gay marriage has been allowed in Massachusetts for over 2 years now with no ill effects. People are generally fine with it.

but apparently some people are too stupid to let opposing evidence get in the way of their opinions.

I actually do hope it goes to a vote in 2008, because it will show the rest of the country that gay marriage can gain majority support.

And hell, there are quite a few states that would allow civil unions as well. I'm pretty sure that my home state of New Hampshire would support civil unions.

I'm surprised its not legal there already...you guys, republican and democratic alike are pretty anti gubment.

There's a pretty good chance that we wil pass civil unions here sometime in the next 2 years.

Civil unions on a nationwide basis are 10-20 years away. Gay Marriage could take longer.

I think you're right.
