Court won't force gay marriage issue |
|
|
Massachusetts' highest court said Wednesday that it has no authority to force lawmakers to vote on a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
The 7-0 ruling leaves the fate of the amendment up in the air in the only state that allows gay marriage. Opponents collected 170,000 signatures to end the practice. But the measure needs legislative approval to appear on the ballot, and lawmakers refused to vote on it last month. Source: chicagotribune.com |
