Vote on proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Massachusetts has been postponed until at least June 14th: “Before it can reach the 2008 ballot, the proposed amendment needs the backing of 25 percent — or at least 50 lawmakers — in two successive sittings of the Legislature. It won approval in the previous Legislature in January. Those opposed and in support of gay marriage agree that based on past votes and the stated positions of incoming lawmakers, about 57 support the amendment. There are 200 lawmakers in the House and Senate.”
