One small step for mankind....
The Boston Globe reports on the House vote to end the residence requirement for gay marriage in Massachusetts.
"In a major victory for advocates of same-sex marriage rights, the House voted by a wide margin yesterday to repeal a 95-year-old law that prevents gay and lesbian couples from most other states from marrying here, setting the stage for Massachusetts to join just one other state, California, in allowing same-sex couples to marry regardless of residence."
"On a roll call, the House voted 118 to 35 to pass the repeal bill. The legislation will probably be sent to Governor Deval Patrick this week. The repeal will take effect 90 days after Patrick signs the measure."
HOORAY FOR MASSACHUSETTS !!!!!!!!!!

Does that mean Leo and I can come up there this summer and get married????
Mrs. Astor, I believe you can do that in 90 days...around the beginning of November. Perhaps duBarry will rise from the grave and host another magnificent Thanksgiving dinner and we can marry you off at the same time.
