Cambridge, Mass, November 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Following the November 18 court order to allow homosexual ‘marriage’ in Massachusetts, Cambridge is becoming the first city in the nation to implement the same-sex ruling. The Cambridge action ignores a warning from Governor Mitt Romney to defer the issue while the state legislature responds to the court decision. The state was given 180 days to re-write its marriage laws to include lesbian and gay couples. Denise Simmons, an “openly gay” Cambridge city Councillor, and Fellow Councillor Brian Murphy, submitted the proposal on November 18, only hours after the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling. Cambridge, the home of Harvard University, is known for its liberal tendencies, and for its support of gay rights. The city instituted a policy of healthcare access for partners and children of gay employees in 1992. A national poll revealed only 32 percent of the U.S. population supports gay marriage.
