Tomorrow or Thursday should finish the job when the action moves to the House.
As late as noon today, one of our local bigoted, anti-gay groups, Massachusetts Family Institute was still pretending that these laws had nothing to do with any discrimination. They also continued their irrational fear mongering with a lead of :
The Massachusetts Senate is voting this afternoon on a bill that would repeal the so-called “1913” law and start the exporting of same-sex “marriage” from the Bay State to states across the nation. This repeal would create havoc the long-standing tradition of respecting the right of other states to define marriage as they choose.
More rational and compassionate Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) said, "There are very few laws on the books that I can say that I'm ashamed that they're on the books. This is a very simple law, contrived in shame, and it exists in shame and we ought to wipe it off the books."
'Nuff said.
