I found the following excerpt on the MSNBC website:
The 'Will & Grace' Effect
With Massachusetts leading the way, gay marriage is slowly becoming a realityand dividing generations

"Even so, there wasn't much opponents could do to stop this week's weddings. Gov. Mitt Romneya Republican who leans conservative on social issues, even in this most Democratic of statesfought the November court decision approving same-sex marriages. He then pushed for a constitutional amendment to ban them. One version passed the state legislature but must be ratified again by lawmakers and votersand wouldn't take effect before 2006. In the meantime, eager to preserve his national prospects within the GOP, Romney tried to bar out-of-state couples from tying the knot. Marriage opponents still complained that Romney didn't go far enough. Last week former GOP presidential candidate Alan Keyes launched a $40,000 TV and radio ad campaign chiding Romney for refusing to help recall the four state supreme court judges who backed gay marriage. A weary Romney seemed resigned to the inevitable last week: he said he would attend gay weddings if invited."
". . . attend gay weddings if invited"??????? Say what? I feel like I'm living in a nightmare. Why isn't Gov. Romney reining in these liberal judges? It seems like he has a "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude.
Does anyone know the timeline on this - when the legislature will vote again?
