My question pertain more to the legalities of this ruling.

This is concerning MA alone, correct? So for taxes, they'll be able to file jointly for state and single for frderal?

Another question: Here in MN, there are specific laws against same-sex marriages. So, if a married couple are recognized in MA and they have health benefits with their company, if they move to MN, would the company be forced to provide those benefits in a state that does not recognize their union?

Also, do you think the supreme court ruling on the Texas sodomy will pave the way to allow these marriages federally?

Please note: I really don't want this to turn into a "Is homosexuality right?" debate. I am curious about the ramifications of the ruling.

Actually, the ban was ruled unconstitutional, and you're way late.
