 Same-sex marriage is an issue that arguably affects all persons, posing a challenge to sex and gender segregation and oppression. In Massachusetts, the storm continues, with an upcoming constitutional convention to vote on a petition to place a constitutional same-sex marriage prohibition on the 2008 ballot. Jeremy Pittman, Deputy Campaign Director of MassEquality, a coalition to protect the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's decision on marriage equality and to defeat any discriminatory amendment to the Massachusetts state constitution, elaborates on the ongoing struggle.
