On March 11th Massachusetts senators and representatives passed a constitutional amendment legalizing civil unions and banning gay marriage. You can learn more about the decision at MassEquality.

I went to work that morning and left at noon. I went to the State House at around 1:30 p.m. and stayed until 8:45 p.m. We spent hours across the street from the State House...then more time right in front of the State House. Eventually we got into the State House around 6:30 p.m. We watched the debates on a large screen in Gardner Auditorium....sung songs on the 3rd floor and watched a little bit of the Debate in the Great Hall on the 2nd floor. I held signs that said things like..."I support the SJC Decision"..."MassEquality"......"Marriage for All Couples"....and "Don't put Hate in the Consitution." It was amazing to witness such an event. The fight isn't over yet. The convention will re-convene in two weeks.
