1. Every gay person in Mass should file a lawsuit against every

senate/house member who voted to do this. They have voted to "take" something from you - trial lawyers for injured / wrongful death get millions for spouses every single day for the "loss of partner" We get ONE single lawsuit won and it would scare these Rethugs so badly since all they understand is the money. Threaten to bankrupt them and the states. Bastards.

If they want to put protesters in zones, they should have separated them by side of the issue AND split those groups into those who live in the state and those who were imported by a bunch of bigoted fundies to ram their religion down everyone else's throat.
