Gay Marriage - Constitutional Convention Round 2 TODAY!
Today the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention reconveens to try and ban gay marriage once again in Massachusetts. At 1pm today lawmakers will once again vote (as they did last year and won Round 1) to ban gay marriage. A vote to ban gay marriage today will then put the initiative on the ballot in 2006 allowing the people to vote which would then put into question the over 6,000 marriages performed and recognized today in Massachusetts. Early indications are that this time, the vote will not pass - that many of those who voted to ban marriage last year have changed their vote since. One can only hope.

actually the vote failed to pass not only because several legislators changed their position, but sadly, also because many anti-gay legislators want the next citizen led petition banning gay marriage, which is stronger in language and bans civil unions to pass.
