A Victory for Gay Rights?
On its face, it would appear so:
Massachusetts' highest court ruled 4-3 Tuesday that the state's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and gave lawmakers 180 days to fix the problem.But I wonder if the political opposition galvanized by such a ruling might not outweigh the fruits of the legal victory.
I think gay rights activists might be better off seeking incremental civil union protections rather than trying to attain legally-recognized "marriage" in one fell swoop.
