In a move that could benefit gay rights, the leader of the Massachusetts senate will delay a second vote by lawmakers on whether to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, The Boston Globe reports.

Senate president Robert Travaglini says that the legislature has more pressing concerns this spring, such as health care, the budget, and job creation, unnamed sources told the newspaper.

Senate minority leader Brian P. Lees, a Republican, confirmed the decision to the Globe "In informal discussions with the senate president, we both agree there are a number of other items of importance that should be discussed on the senate floor before we get to this issue," he said. "It could come up as late as fall."
