No Vote on Gay Marriage in Massachusetts

Also posted at Disabled Americans for Democracy

The AP reports that there will be no referendum on Massachusetts' same sex marriage law. The bill to put the law before the voters was defeated by a vote of 151 to 45. Though it is possible that opponents of same sex marriage will continue their efforts to overturn the 2003 state court ruling that established Massachusetts as the only state in the union where gay marriage is legal, they would now have to start again from scratch. So, equal marriage rights in the Bay State are secure, for now.
