How did Mass come to be called the “gay state”?

I always refer to folks from Mass as Massholes, to their faces, all except you of course. :)

Probably had something to do with the state’s refusal to allow a ballot amendment against homosexual marriage to be on the ballot, even though it had the requisite number of signatures and was in on time.

This they did on technicality and political hatchet work.

Check my profile for a brief explanation.I lifted the term from Howie Carr,a local Boston talk host and columnist who's outstanding...and very funny.
