Surprised nobody else posted this. Big news, big news indeed. First state in the nation- in 180 days state marriage licenses (not just civil union like it VT) will be handed out to gay couples if they request it and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. The only way to get rid of this is to amend the state constitution, and that won't be able to happen until at least 2006.
This is a big surprise because the Ma Supreme Court is considered rather conservative.
