Separate, But Equal

That is the message Massachusetts lawmakers relayed yesterday when they voted to ban gay marriage, but allow for civil unions in Massachusetts. The numbers were close.........105 to 92. I would like to thank my Senator Charles Shannon and Representative Patricia Jehlen for voting to keep discrimination out of the constitution. This isn't the end however. Legislators wil meet again in 2006 where this issue will be voted on again before being put on the ballot in 2006. You can read more about this at MassEquality.

So what does this mean for the marriage licences expected to be offered to gay couples on May 17th? We'll see.
