Mass. preparing for a rush of gay weddings

[absolutezero]

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. — On Monday, Massachusetts will become the first state where it will be legal for a man to marry a man, or a woman to marry a woman. And the rush to marry is evident in this longtime vacation haven for gay men and lesbians

More than 100 same-sex couples have made reservations to apply for marriage licenses Monday, the first day they will be legal. More are expected to just show up. That's compared with 30 licenses issued here all last year. "It's almost like we're the gay Niagara Falls," says Patricia Fitzpatrick, the town's director of tourism.

I think its ironic that despite all of the torture, death, and destruction that *'s decisions have led to, as soon as next Monday matrimony, love, and family will be the only focus of...

Either god has a twisted sense of humor, or perhaps he's trying to teach the fundies a little lesson.
