And Massachusetts Declares "We're Awesome!"

Or perhaps they were saying, "We're Fabulous!" Either way, the Massachusetts Senate conducted a voice vote yesterday WITH NO OBJECTIONS to allow gay couples from outside the state to come to MA to get married.

It was targeted mainly at the state of New York, whose governor has announced that although the state doesn't perform gay marriages itself, it will be happy to recognize as valid any gay marriages that were legally performed elsewhere. Apparently if they all come to MA, that will inject over $100 million into the MA economy annually.

So letting the gays marry is basically just good business sense. Who knew!! =D
