1913 Law Repeal Exposes Bigots

Most people can see the wisdom in doing away with the 1913 marriage law preventing out of state same sex couples from marrying here. During the recent House vote last Thursday there were a few surprises delivered, including once hard liners Joyce Spiliotis and Tony Verga voting to rescind the 1913 law.

All that is left of the once awesome power that kept GLBT rights at bay are the meager 35 votes of people wanting to get their last fist shake in before the winds of change erode away completely their twisted version of what our society should hold valuable. We would all be wise to remember these names when voting this November on who represents us on Beacon Hill. Here are the last names of the representatives that voted to maintain a racist law that has it's very roots coming from the desire to hinder interracial marriages:

Ayers
Barrows
Binienda
Casey
Creedon
DeMacedo
Driscoll
Evangelidis
Fagan
Flynn
Fresolo
Frost
Garry
Gifford
Greene
Hargraves
Humason
Hynes
Kane
Lantigua
Lepper
Miceli
Peterson
Petrolati
Poirier
Polito
Puppolo
