1. Mass. City to Let Out-Of-State Gays Wed

BOSTON (AP) -- Out-of-state couples will be able to receive marriage licenses in the seaside gay mecca of Provincetown after the city decided Monday to defy the governor's residency edict, likely setting the stage for another gay marriage legal battle.

Gov. Mitt Romney immediately issued a statement Monday, threatening legal action against clerks who defy his interpretation of the law.

The Board of Selectmen in Provincetown, on Cape Cod, decided that gay couples who live outside Massachusetts will still be issued marriage licenses, as long as they attest that they know of no legal impediment to their union.
