My mom's can't legally get married.  This is only because some people just don't know the real meaning of marriage.  Not the definition in the dictionary, but the definition that comes from someone's heart.  A man and a woman who truly love each other can easily get married anywhere they wish, but two men or two women that truly love each other can only get a civil union in Connecticut and Vermont.  The Connecticut government has no problem making a law for a civil union as long as the law says gays and lesbians will never legally get married.  So the definition for marriage that comes from my heart, is the bond between two human beings who are madly in love with each other.  So trust me, that is the definition of marriage.  But hey, look at the bright side, the lesbians and gays of Massachusetts can now get legally get married.  So never doubt that there will be change, because there already has been.
