MASSACHUSETTS SAME-GENDER NUPTIALS HAMPER VOTERS’ DEBATE

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

With Massachusetts so hyped over hugs and kisses celebrating same-gender so-called "marriages," there are those within the state who claim that that overbalance does not create a legitimate voting climate by which citizens can make clear decisions concerning the issue.

Therefore, according to the Associated Press, there are those going to court to get the matter cleared up, or the air cleared of pollutants immoral. They want same-gender nuptials to stop in order for a more civil environs to develop, especially providing a healthier debate network.

C. J. Doyle, executive director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts is filing a lawsuit on Monday. It will go to the highest state court. He wants not another same-gender vow exchange to take place "until voters can weigh in on the contentious issue."

Thus far about 5,000 couples of like gender have told the world that they are "married." That’s because the State Supreme Judicial Court says they have legal documents stating same. That dates back to November 2003. The ruling became effective on May 1, 2004.

In March 2004, Massachusetts lawmakers then "approved a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage." However, lawmakers "must pass the measure a second time, either this year or next, before it can reach the statewide ballot in November 2006."

With the running-for-the-license hysteria consuming the state, there are those who agree with Mr. Doyle that no more same-gender tie-ups should be granted license until a full debate has taken place. The same-gender fun-n-games, ceremonies included, have muddied the whole dialogue milieu and thereby needs to halt, he contends.

Stay tuned.
