A proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage was defeated today by a joint session of the Legislature by a vote of 45 to 151, eliminating any chance of getting it on the ballot in November 2008. At least 50 votes were needed to advance the measure.

This is really great news! The civil rights of minorities should NEVER be put to a vote of the majority. Why do you think we’re called a “minority” to begin with!? Kudos to all the Massachusetts legislators and the governor for having the backbone to stand up for what’s right and refusing to bow down to intense pressure from those seeking to take away the civil rights that we were all born with!
