Congratulations Massachusetts!

First Gay Couples Wed in Massachusetts Today!
The Supreme Court has rejected a last ditch effort to stop same sex marriage from becoming legal in the state of Massachusetts.

Gay couples around Massachusetts began exchanging vows today, marking the first time a state has granted gays and lesbians the right to marry and making the United States one of a handful of countries around the world where homosexuals can legally wed.

Later this year, the Supreme Court of Canada will look at the constitutionality of gay marriage. Prime Minister Paul Martin has promised to introduce a bill to legalize it.
