So, on Tuesday, the State Senate in Massachusetts repealed a 1913 law that prevented the state from marrying out-of-state couples. Part of the motivation? Money! Times are tough and B&B owners, caterers, and florists need the extra business from out-of-state gay couples. Of course, the human rights and equality stuff played a factor in the decision too. Either way, we suggest that permanently partnered East Coast Lezebels hoof it up to the Bay State pronto. [NYT]
