MA Poll: Residents Reject Gay Marriage Ban
The Massachusetts legislature will take up the second phase of a proposal to amend the state Constitution to ban gay marriage this year, but a new poll shows most voters want the effort abandoned.

The Bay State Poll, taken for the Eagle-Tribune, and released on Monday, shows that most people in Massachusetts (52%) have grown comfortable with same-sex marriage.

There are also growing indications that the legislature is also growing tired of the issue. When the proposed amendment was submitted last year it divided the legislature, resulted in acrimonious debate, and continued for two days. In November, a more liberal House and Senate was elected, with Democrats picking up seats in both bodies.
