Massachusetts wanted to get some of that gay marriage money so they put repealing that 1913 bigoted law in overdrive. By a huge margin, the Massachusetts House sends to Gov. Deval Patrick repeal of a law that bars out-of-state gay couples from marrying in the state.
The Massachusetts House voted Tuesday to repeal a law that had prohibited out-of-state gay couples from legally marrying in the Bay State.
By a margin of 118-35, legislators voted down the 1913 law, which nullified any marriage performed in Massachusetts that was not legal in a couple's home state. The state Senate approved repeal earlier this month and the bill is likely to reach Gov. Deval Patrick, who has pledged to sign it, within a week.
