MA LAWMAKERS' RESPONSE TO GOODRIDGE: From the Boston Globe

The Supreme Judicial Court's decision
approving gay marriage threw Beacon Hill into a frenzy yesterday, with Governor Mitt Romney and Democratic leaders in the Legislature considering a flurry of options--ranging from fully backing the court's ruling, to advancing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, to something in between.

Romney reiterated his opposition to gay marriage, declaring he had "3,000 years of recorded history" on his side, while still offering support for a handful of domestic partner benefits to gay couples. The Senate's
Democratic leader, meanwhile, said the court left the Legislature little choice but to accept gay marriage.
