>>In other words, having gay marriage be legal in MA only is better than not having it at all because TX and CO disapprove.

At least folks would have the chance to move to MA if they feel strongly enough about the issue.<<

WMcM -

I see your point, and I see the sense in it.

I also recall that there was a time, not very long ago, when interracial marriage was illegal in some states.

I just looked it up. By 1967, there were 16 states with such laws on the books. A decision of the Supreme (Loving v. Virginia) struck down those laws. Today, I suppose some people might say those were activist judges who made that decision.

I say that a lot of nice couples in 16 states had been granted a basic right, the right of two adults to marry whomever they chose to marry, without having to start their lives over again in a different state.
