Massachusetts Prepares Gay Nightmare

Democratic lawmakers in Massachusetts prepare to repeal a 1913 law that has been used to prohibit out-of-state gays from marrying in the liberal Northern state. The Governor, also a Democrat, promises to sign the law. If passed, the law will create a legal nightmare when same sex couples marry in Massachusetts and then return to their own state were gay marriages are not legal. This move, so close to the November elections, could hurt Democrats who were otherwise slightly ahead in the Presidental race. (Polls show gay marriage would not win majority support any state.)
