Massachusetts anti-gay group seeks to undo marriage gains through ballot
”The Legislature and the governor changed our marriage laws to please the well-connected minority and force a social experiment into other states that’s very offensive to a majority of the people, at least the way the votes have been going.”

”I’ve learned that when it comes to equality for gay and lesbian people, the struggle is never over because there are certain people that are just strongly opposed to any rights for gay people. It’s never shocking; it is disappointing.”
Marc Solomon of MassEquality, a pro-gay marriage organization in Massachusetts, responding to the efforts of Brian Camenker and his group, Mass Resistance.
