Massachusetts Repeals 1913 Law Prohibiting Marriages of Out-of-State Couples
Last week, Massachusetts repealed a 1913 law that prohibited non-resident couples from getting married in that state. Unenforced for decades, the law recently surfaced again and was used to deny out-of-state same-sex couples from marrying there.
The law has now been repealed, making Massachusetts a fully LGBT friendly state (at least legally.)
Our own Gabriel Blau, founder of this site, was featured in the New York Times this past weekend as one of the New York couples that would benefit from this new law.
Do you have any plans or know of anyone with plans to head out to MA?
