Massachusetts got gay marriage when Romney changed the forms and instructed town clerks and JP’s to start issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The legislature refused to act on the unconstitutional Goodrich decision, but Romney made it happen through his own executive actions.

No law changed, the MA laws on marriage now are the same as they were before Mitt acted.

Based on this account, it is a little more complicated than that. MA did not get gay marriage due to Romney" s actions. He was acting by a ruling of the MA Supreme Court
