Gay couples can now purchase the "Fairy Tale Wedding" package at Disneyland and on Disney cruise ships, according to an article by the AP (blogged here.) Then they can go home to anywhere except Massachusetts and discover it was all just a beautiful dream with talking woodland creatures. On the other hand, our new Senate President in MA supports repealing the law that prevents out-of-state (excepion: RI) gay couples from being married here. That 1913 law, intially intended to prevent interracial marriages, says that you can't get married here if the marriage would not be recognized in your own state. The repeal of that law would make Massachusetts more magical than Disneyland! [Tags: gay gay_marriage disneyland massachusetts] Posted

Couldn't they just come to Canada? We're located slightly North of MA ;-)

Gay couples will continue to have committed relationships whether or not their state legally grants them the full rights of marriage. Many couples, both straight and gay, have commitment ceremonies that don't have anything to do with civil marriages, where their families and friends can participate in the celebration. It's not only a dream outside of MA, it's reality.
