Massachusetts still around
It's a year ago today that Massachusetts became the only state in the union to allow gay marriages, and it still has yet to succumb to a rain of fireballs, famine, or cicadas.
Traditional marriage still exists, and "the family" has not been destroyed.
And apparently, no politicians have "paid a price" for supporting it, either:
But according to GLAD, all the Massachusetts legislators who supported gay and lesbian marriage were returned to office last November. Two same-sex marriage opponents lost their legislative seats in 2004 primaries, and three supporters won special elections last month.
