Massachusetts backs gay marriage. Hmmm.
The US state of Massachusetts has ruled that same-sex couples are legally entitled to marry...
But the Supreme Judicial Court stopped short of ordering that marriage licences be issued to seven gay couples who challenged the law.
So, they're willing to say it's wrong, but the actual politically tricky bit of changing the law to enable gay marriages to go ahead they're leaving to someone else?
