   Are you kidding me? Why would it affect the state? You’re making it seem like Massachusetts was plagued with some sort of disease.

   Hasn’t changed much…?

   um..our State is still here…nothing bad has happened to anyone or any town I know of!! Most people I know just want to be happy, work, provide for their family, and enjoy life…and that includes traditional and non traditional marriages..

   There are really only 2 things — politically (there have been attempts to amend the state constitution to make it ‘illegal’), and the other was that a new market was created for the wedding industry

   Honestly nothing has changed. . . .Which I guess proves the argument against it right there. . . .Although you do see the occasional protestors (for either side!) when you work right down town near the state building.

   Lived here for a total of 27 years and change. I notice nothing different that can be attributed to gay-marriage.

   Plenty of other changes over the years.

   I don’t think that it’s really affected day to day life in Massachusetts at all. I haven’t noticed any changes, other than maybe hearing about it more often.

   I have some sets of *** friends who are married, and I don’t see it disrupting the Sanctity of Marriage. Granted, I hang out in liberal settings (work, church, etc.), but I just see *** couples trying to live normal lives, have homes, raise kids, etc. I’m more worried about casino gambling, to be honest.

   I moved from Montana to Massachusetts, and can tell you I didn’t notice that society functioned any differently between the two. I was still able to buy gas, go to work, get food, and go home – even though gays were married. I still had a happy relationship with my straight boyfriend. There were still plenty of heterosexual marriages, so that didn’t seem to be an issue, either. In fact, there were still plenty of heterosexual divorces, just like before. Basically, nothing changed – except for the opportunity for those people who had been denied the chance to get married, to now do so. Gays were the only ones really affected by *** marriage.

    Gay marriage has changed NOTHING here in Mass. nothing at all, not one bit.
    I never understood how 2 *** men being married would or could effect my marriage. looks like I was right, my hetero marriage is the same as it was before.
    I didn’t loose any rights, or any thing else

    Day to day life hasn’t changed….. Not really in favor of *** marriage, although the issue doesn’t bother me that much… I am slightly embarassed by living in Mass for this and other liberal agenda items….

    No affects whatsoever except perhaps less ********** promiscuity. And less need for provacative gays to push lifestyle in others faces (same phenomenom happened in Canada where I have a second home).

    By the way Massachusetts has about the lowest divorce rate in the USA. The highest are in some of the most red, rabble-rousing Fundamentalist Christian conservative, anti marriage states.

    (I am straight).
