Marriage Equality for Same-Sex Couples
eye on the media > media library > marriage equality for same-sex couples

Massachusetts's highest court ruled in November 2003 that the state's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, and allowed the state legislature 180 days to remedy the problem. The Supreme Judicial Court's 4-3 ruling was the culmination of a two year legal battle that started in 2001 when seven gay couples went to their city and town halls to obtain marriage licenses. They were all denied, which led them to sue the agency that administers the state's marriage laws, the Department of Public Health.
