Gay Marriage Ban Defeated

WBZ has also posted the roll call vote so you can find out who to send a thank-you card. Or a nastygram, depending on the case.

Now that Pride has wrapped up, it couldn't have happened at a better time. A whole lot can change when the governor is on your side. Somewhere, Mitt Romney is feeling chagrined. He called it a "regrettable setback."

He must mean it is a "setback" for his campaign. The vote certainly isn't a setback for the families who are smiling now that this state's government has reaffirmed their rights.

One reader said, "In your face, haters!" Blue Mass Group calls it "A Glorious Victory." Universal Hub says, "I'm so proud to live in a state where equal rights are valued."

So, what are you doing to celebrate?
