3 Nov 2003 Jahr - Same Sex Marriage Legalized In Massachussets

Beschreibung:

the Massachusetts Supreme Court finds the state’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, ruling that the state could not deny the protections, benefits and obligations conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry. The decision cited the state constitution’s ban on the creation of second-class citizens. This expanded civil rights as it allowed same-sex couples the same provisions for marriage allowed to heterosexual couples.
