"I now pronounce you wife and wife" -- that's right kids, the Supreme Judicial Court ruled today that same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts! Well, it's not all that simple, actually -- the decision was close, 4-3, and will be immediately appealed, plus it turns the issue of actually giving out marriage licenses to couples like the plaintiffs over to...gulp...the Legislature, i.e. the Fiefdom of Finneran, to come up with a plan to compy within 180 days. Hmmmmm...methinks there will be much demonstrating atop Beacon Hill in the coming weeks...get ready! Mazel tov!

UPDATE: Be sure to check out the Boston.com message boards on the ruling -- about 85% in favor, 10% against, 5% nuts, like the guy on page 8 who whines, "I guess we all get to see even more cars driving by with the gay rainbow on it [sic] now." Ha! Beware an upturn in sales for Subaru Foresters, beware!
