Gays Can’t Come to Mass. to Marry

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts upheld a “1913 state law that forbids nonresidents to marry in Massachusetts if their marriage would not be recognized in their home state.”
The ruling was a disappointment for the gay rights movement and considered a coup for Mitt Romney, the conservative Governor of Massachusetts who is considering running for president in ’08, Romney said of the decision he “did not want Massachusetts to become ‘the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage.’”

Happened on a Catholic channel last night with a priest interviewing some guy on an amendment to the contitution keeping marriage only between a man and a woman.
The guest contended that a Massachusetts Judge or Court had issued a judgement that even marriage between men and women was illegal because it was ‘bigotry’. This was used as the reason for the gay marriage agenda: to destroy all marriage.
I swear I am not making this up. Does anyone know what happened in a Massachusetts court that is now so distorted as to be unrecognizable?
They did not mention the decision upholding the 1913 law. The program could have been taped before it but I doubt they would have discussed it.

I looked in the Boston Globe and could not find anything more on this. Not sure about it. You know if you look at this and you say “marriage is defined as” between a limited sector – then there is a sort of bigotry, in my opinion.
