Description | Judge Denies Bid to Stop Gay Marriages in Massachusetts
The Honolulu Advertiser

U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro said Massachusetts' high court acted within its authority in interpreting the Massachusetts Constitution. The Massachusetts court ruled that city and town clerks could begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples beginning on Monday. |
