It appears that marriages in MA by New York gay couples will be upheld. It is also likely that RI will also honour MA marriages.

Good news! Unfortunately there's still a long way to go, especially here in California... to think, the "gay capital" of the world (San Francisco) still hasn't legalized it - how sad is that? C'mon Gavin Newsom, you can stand up to Arnie!!

No surprise. Massachusetts and New York are one in the same anyhow. In theory, 49 states exist in the union.

on the contrary, stuntman. New York, despite its huge gay population does not provide for gays the way that most might think. In fact, the State legislature has put forth gay rights bills since 1970 and has failed to get them passed. Hopefully, that will change. congrats to those married couples and their families.

Does it feel good to just slam, bam thank you mam anything that doesn't agree with you and your ideas?

Cuz as wehotex says clearly NYS & MA ain't the same, politically, geographically or homo-related.

You may recall, if you are young enough or well read that NYS is a Republican-leaning State with a Democratic base in NYC.

Check your facts, please, before you blow off.

Easy does it fella. If you think that consitutes less of a tongue-in-cheek comment than a "slam" or a premonition of one's "ideas", then it's probably time to loosen the collar a bit.
