The Massachussets Supreme Court just released their decision in Goodridge vs. Department of Public Health holding 4-3 that a prohibition on same-sex marriages violates "the basic premises of individual liberty and equality under law protected by the Massachusetts Constitution" (3 justices) and the Massuchussets ERA (1 justice).

In conclusion the majority writes:

"We declare that barring an individual from the protections, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution. We vacate the summary judgment for the department. We remand this case to the Superior Court for entry of judgment consistent with this opinion. Entry of judgment shall be stayed for 180 days to permit the Legislature to take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion."
