Mass: Court Rules Gay Marriage Legal
"Massachusetts' highest court ruled 4-3 today that same-sex couples are legally entitled to wed under the state constitution, but stopped short of allowing marriage licenses to be issued to the seven couples who challenged the law. The court ordered the Legislature to come up with a solution within 180 days."

Update: Trish Wilson sat in on the legislative hearings in Mass., including those on
gay marriage and civil unions. (She had provided written testimony opposing the partial birth abortion ban which was being heard the same day.) Her observations about that day are here.
