In an article in today's nyt.com, columnist Gail Collins writes about Massachusetts latest move to throw-out the law that stopped gay marriages for other citizens from other States, e.g., N.C.! Looking at how much CA is making with LGBT weddings, MA wanted the same opportunity to "rake in the dough" with LBTG weddings! Then-Governor Mitt Romney made sure that the law would stay in place, not wanting MA to become the "Las Vegas of gay marriages": "He grabbed hold of an antique law barring marriages of out-of-state couples whose own states would not let them be wed to make sure that nobody gay snuck over the state line in search of matrimony."
Gail Collins is partially correct: "But the forces of history are only on one side here. There’s going to be a long-term happy ending. Although I’m afraid we’ll never get those giant cupolas." However, it is not the force of history but love that is going to make these marriages as common as heterosexual marriages! And even though we will not be covered in the 2010 census statistics, the rest of the country knows that "we're here, we're queer, get over it."
