That's a cool development, and good that it got rid of the anti-miscegenation law.

Yea!! I read that this morning!! The past couple years have seen such incredible improvements in gay rights in the United States.

That's great! Only, most states don't recognise gay marriages except California and NY State, am I right?

I've been following this for the past week or so. Glad they got rid of that law!

That's right... but it's a little step in the right direction, and in America, any step forward is a huge thing.

And I guess Massachusetts recognises out-of-state gay marriages, although I'm not sure on that. I know for sure NY does because they recognise ones from Canada; it's been in the news lately.

DUDE. I'd so go to Massachusetts...but I live in California.

That's great to hear! Massachusetts is definitely leading the country in the right direction.

Lol we are indeed a great state. That's why I love living here. The citizens seem to be more modern than the rest of the country.
