That Didn't Take Long

Back in November, when the first case came down, and was somewat ambiguous on the civil union/marriage thing and the issue of timetables, I thought it would take at least a year before there was any serious movement on the topic, however: Mass. High Court Rules for Gay Marriage

The Massachusetts high court ruled Wednesday that only full, equal marriage rights for gay couples -- rather than civil unions -- are constitutional, clearing the way for the nation's first same-sex marriages in the state as early as May.

This is going to end up being an even bigger issue in the presidential campaign--and this won't help Kerry because it reinforces the image of Massachusetts as the home of all things liberal.
