The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that only marriage meets constitutional requirements for gay couples, rejecting Vermont style civil unions. The decision, issued before a constitutional convention next week, signals the first legally sanctioned same sex weddings could occur by spring and shapes statewide law until potential ballot amendments. Ed Balmeili plans a May wedding after depositing for a ceremony. The White House criticized the ruling as troubling and activist judges redefining marriage.
