D-Day Set In MA Gay Marriage Fight

State legislators in Massachusetts have set the date of 1:00pm on Wednesday September 14 as the beginning of a State Constitutional Convention where an amendment to nullify current and prevent future gay marriages will be considered. There are 200 members of the joint session of the legislature. In March 2004 a similar amendment passed 101-94. If the amendment passes again it will be sent to voters in November 2006. If you know anyone who lives (and votes) in Massachusetts and who believes in equality, urge them to support "no discrimination in the Constitution."
