IF you criticize someone for something they actually did is one thing, but when you are FALSELY accusing someone just because you don’t like him and want to spread FALSE rumors it reflects on you.

I found an article which gives the whole story — the courts ruled in favor of gay marriage in MA. And Romney is not like Obama who ignores the courts and thinks he can do anything unilaterally.

“The state’s highest court ruled that gays had the legal right to marry, thrusting the state into the forefront of the same-sex marriage debate.”

Do NOT re-write history. The decision is online, you can read it here: In their complaint the plaintifs request only a declaration of their exclusions and the exclusion of other qualified same-sex couples from acess to civil marriages violates Massachusettes law. 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.

The state supreme court did not re-write law. They offered the 'nuclear' option of declaring all marriages to be unconstitutional, and Romney caved. Big shock there.
