Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, who is openly gay, said the decision "will enhance the lives of probably thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of Massachusetts citizens, and will have no negative effects on anyone else." Rep. Marty Meehan agreed. "There will be some from the right who will try to paint a picture that this will somehow be an infringement on heterosexual couples, I don't view it that way," said Meehan, also a Democrat.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said the decision was a "welcome new milestone on the road to full civil rights for all our citizens.

"It's wrong for any state to discriminate against gays and lesbians by denying them the many benefits and protections that the laws of the state provide for married couples," Kennedy said.

This is not about the "couples." Marriage is to protect the Family, which means the children of a union between a man and a woman, so that they become healthy productive adults. That is the only way a society can survivel

For a group who say that the government has no business in their bedroom, they are demanding the government's blessing on their bedroom behavior.

"It's wrong for any state to discriminate against gays and lesbians by denying them the many benefits and protections that the laws of the state provide for married couples," Kennedy said.

Why is he using that word: "wrong"? What does Kennedy know about "right" and "wrong"? How can he say something's wrong if not the blasphemy of gay "marriage"?
