I don't want same sex marriage in my state, and there is no threat to that. Neither you nor I have any right to interfere in the constitutional wrangling within the state of Massachusetts. They will eventually work it out. Either the people will pass an amendment prohibiting same sex marriage or they will permit same sex marriage by not altering their constitution.

You are fortunate you not live in MA as many of my friends do. They are extremely frustrated.

Same-sex Marriage was forced on MA by the vote of one judge in the MA Supreme Court.

Now the will of the people in MA, who have said they want the opportunity to vote for or against a Marriage Amendment, is being ignored by the MA Legislature because the homosexual lobby controls the Democrats who have a huge majority. In the past, the MA House 'adjorned' rather than deal with the people's petition.

It will soon come up again for a vote because the Legislature must approve Amendments that go on the ballot.

And the homosexual lobby will again exert enormous influence over the Democrats to ignore the people.

Believe me I share their frustration. I know it was a 4 to 3 decision, but such decisions are made routinely in every state and in the USSC. As you point out though, it is now clearly within the power of the voters. They must speak loudly. I understand it is supposed to come up again this summer.

Are any of your friends in Massachusetts married, and if so, how have the same sex marriages affected your friends' marriages?
