All rights and responsibilities of marriage including federal Social Security benefits to surviving partners.
Repeal of DOMA.
He doesn't want to call that marriage. The voters last fall in MA seemed fine with that.
I think the issue is settled here. We have bigger fish to fry than just this one social issue. I think that the Senator should move on to helping the poor and middle class and leave this issue to people who really have had a problem with it in that past.
I don't actually care about this as a voter. It is settled law in this state and Sen. Kerry has come out in favor of it in all but the narrow use of the word marriage. Beyond that, I don't care.
