As noted in the above comment it is legal in the state of Massachsuetts for same sex marriage. This is a huge step forward for us all. The law in Massachusetts only allows the couple to be legally recognized if their home state also support or allows same sex marriage.

I personally thinks its great that it is now recoginzed in several states that what sex we are shouldn't control or determine what makes us happy.

A great feeling that I can get married here in Massachusetts and then move to California if I choose and have the same rights. Now we just need the rest of these United States to recognize that you can't control or change what makes someone happy.

Obviously or perhaps not obviously, I am ECSTATIC over the ruling. My only real worry is that the impending legislation this fall will undue everything we've strived for. I can only hope that we will be able to fight it off and that this will be the beginning of greater support for what were once thought as abnormal lovestyle choices. We all deserve to love and live with whom we choose.

The gay rights movement had made a better way for all people in the kink community with out them leading the way in the fight against far right attacks on our constitution I can't even imagine where we might be right now.
As a person who was raised in a christian setting and who is not one currently I can say that I am very proud of this community.

Living in a country myself that has same sex marriage for several years legislated now, it does not strike me anymore as being a major event. For europeans it is almost like a normal thing. And being straight myself and happily married in europe I never was personally affected. Nevertheless I am happy for you all, to have reached this milestone. Besides there is nowhere to be found in the bible or the koran that God condamnes those of homosexual nature. He would not have created homosexual men and women and then condamn them. Why should two men or two women not be able to bond, the way a man and a woman can.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm against gay marriage. I enjoy watching lesbians getting it on, but I don't think they should get married. Marriage is about family (something that can't be achieved naturally by gay couples). Allowing gay couples to co-habitate is one thing. Having a state facilitate something that has always been reserved for a man and woman to the same sexes is quite another.

So hell no! I respect gays and lesbians, but the movement has gone too far. Children need one mother and one father to provide a well-balanced upbringing. If your not planning to have kids, why in the hell do you want to get married? Only for your own selfish reasons. File joint returns, visit loved ones at hospital, etc. Those are no reasons to wed.
