> marriage.

Gay marriage was instituted in Massachusetts by the Mass. Supreme Court while Romney was governor.

The people responded with a referendum to define marriage.

The politicians on Beacon Hill would not allow the referendum to come to a vote in the Mass Senate.

Don’t know what Romeny could have done, but he did nothing.

Whatever Romney wanted to do, the fact is this will come to one of two conclusions. Either the USSC will affirm DOMA or it will be made into an Amendment. When you have a majority of Californians voting for this, it’s not a contest.

Romney instituted gay marriage in MA ~ that’s what he did. Starts with him.

Patrick was governor by then. Just barely, but he was the gov.
The politicians on Beacon Hill violated the Massachusetts Constitution by not allowing us to vote. Never in the history of my state had so many signatures been gathered on an issue.
