You Gotta Love the Headline

I don’t know if Massachusetts will allow a ballot initiative to proceed to the voters or not. This happened back in 2004 as well. The legislature could vote to allow the amendment to proceed to the voters (they only need 50 votes!), or they could let it die for lack of time. If it goes to the voters and is approved, gay marriages and any recognition of civil unions would end in Massachusetts. Marriages obtained by gay couples to date would remain intact.

As you’ve heard by now, Tuesday’s election passed gay-marriage bans in seven states. Now, lawmakers in Massachusetts are convening to decide whether or not to ban gay-nups in the homo promised land.

While many of us may have thought the legislative nightmare ended back in 2004, when same-sex marriage got the legal okay, it seems that a conservative group has gone out of their way to collect over 120,000 signatures urging lawmakers to reconsider. Thus, a joint session has been called at which the pols will mull it over.

But, I love the headline of this piece...

Very creative.
