“Repeal would let out-of-state gays marry in Mass.”
Now an effort is gaining momentum to repeal a 1913 state law that has banned most out of state gay couples from getting married. The law says couples cannot be married in Massachusetts if their unions would be illegal in their home states.
The Democratic leaders of the House and Senate and Gov. Deval Patrick support a repeal, which could come up for a vote as early as Tuesday in the Senate.
