Attention [livejournal.com profile] chicken_cem and <user site="livejournal.com" user="bu

The Massachusetts state Senate voted overwhelmingly to repeal the 1913 ban on marriages by out-of-staters whose marriages would not be legal in their home jurisdictions. The repeal probably won't pass the House or the governor's veto, though. Several towns will undoubtedly keep issuing licenses to out-of-staters for now, but Romney is threatening court orders. (I have a feeling that some more fun litigation is ahead, especially as regards Rhode Island.)

Also, a lawyer from GLAD has contacted us about our plans, and there is a public forum that GLAD is holding next Wednesday in some church in Providence to answer the publics' questions (or at least some of them).
