New Mexico Same-Sex Couples Can Marry in Massachusetts

This news will get the Christo-fascists foaming at the mouth no doubt:

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Registry of Vital Records and Statistics last Thursday issued “a corrective notice to all Massachusetts city and town clerks authorizing them to allow same-sex couples from New Mexico to apply for marriage licenses,” according to Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD). Massachusetts forbids out-of-state same-sex couples to marry in the Commonwealth if their home state explicitly bans same-sex marriage. New Mexico is now the second state, after Rhode Island, where this was found not to be the case.

YAY for New Mexico! Yay for Massachusetts (but I'm biased and know it!)
