Did you get that? The Massachusetts House of Representatives, under Tom Finneran's leadership, issued a proclamation on May 17, 2004 PLEDGING NO VOTE WOULD OVERTURN THE GOODRIDGE SODOMY "MARRIAGE" RULING. This proclamation specifically congratulated one of the most radical homosexual activists in the state on the occasion of his "wedding". And no, this was not an occasion for a tongue-in-cheek pronouncement.
"What the SJC has granted, let no vote put asunder."
(This assumes that columnist Margery Eagan was reporting accurately --a bit risky.)
