"Senate votes to repeal 1913 law; Bill to OK wedding of nonresident gays now goes to House"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Senate votes to repeal 1913 law; Bill to OK wedding of nonresident gays now goes to House": The Boston Globe today contains an article that begins, "The state Senate voted swiftly and unanimously yesterday to strike down a 95-year-old law that blocks gay and lesbian couples from most other states from being married in Massachusetts, drawing condemnation from Catholic Church leaders but delivering a victory for advocates who have fought for the repeal and who say that same-sex marriage has become an accepted part of the state's culture."

The New York Times reports today that "A 1913 Law Dies to Better Serve Gay Marriages."

And The Los Angeles Times reports that "Massachusetts Senate votes to end gay marriage restriction; The state House and governor are expected to support the move against a 1913 law that has been used to prevent some out-of-state couples from marrying."
