| Description | Governor Romney Gets Resistance on Gay Marriage
The Honolulu Advertiser
Gov. Mitt Romney ran into resistance from his attorney general Tuesday after arguing that gay marriage should be put on hold for at least another 2 1/2 years now that lawmakers have backed a ban on same-sex weddings. Legislators approved a constitutional amendment Monday that would ban gay marriages while legalizing civil unions. If passed a second time during the next session, the measure would go before voters in November 2006. But under a landmark decision by the Supreme Judicial Court in November, gay marriages are scheduled to begin in Massachusetts on May 17. Minutes after the amendment's approval, the first-term Republican governor called on Democratic Attorney General Tom Reilly to ask the state's highest court to delay same-sex marriage until after citizens get a chance to vote on the amendment. |
