Today, May 17, thousands of same-sex couples in Massachusetts are celebrating their first wedding anniversary. If something doesn't change, it may also be their last.
One year ago, same-sex couples legally married for the first time. How do most Massachusetts voters feel about the issue today?
From the Boston Phoenix, quoting a recent poll:
In fact, 48 percent of poll respondents (the random sample consisted of voters from every part of the state) said gay marriage had no impact on the overall quality of life in Massachusetts, and 36 percent said life had actually gotten better. A full 82 percent said gay marriage has had either no impact or a positive one on heterosexual marriage couples.
That's the good news. The sky didn't fall, heterosexuals are happy and the Radical Right has been proven wrong.
The bad news: They is a very good chance that they're going to win anyway--forcibly terminating all of those marriages--because we've almost shut off the funding for our side.
Much more on the flip. Please read -- and respond.
