"The Bay State":http://www.mass-vacation.com/ is now the first-in-the-nation to grant same-sex marriage licenses to couples, and I am proud to say that "Our Fair City":http://www.cambridgema.gov was the first -- "Cambridge City Hall at 12 midnight, May 18, 2004":http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/05/17/celebrations_envelop_cambridge_city_hall/ A couple of thousand people, joined together on the front lawn of City Hall, singing songs, holding supportive signs (My favorite was "yay!"), and clapping as each couple made their way up the stairs, and into the building... It was really moving. Cheers everybody!
