The way I read it, the Supreme Court of Mass. actually did not approve same sex marriages. Rather, they ruled that the ban on same sex marriages was unconstitutional. Now the Legislature most rewrite the state's marriage laws. There is still many months (years?) to go before this issue will be settled.
It's sad that a panel of people get to play God and pass judgement on others and desided whether they are allowed to do what they feel is best for them.
