BOSTON (BP)--With same-sex “marriage” in Massachusetts apparently less than two weeks away, a justice for the state high court has rejected a request to have the controversial ruling delayed.
Supporters of traditional marriage are now pinning their hopes on two other requests -- one filed by the American Center for Law and Justice and the other filed by the Alliance Defense Fund and the Law and Liberty Institute.
If the opinion of Associate Justice Roderick L. Ireland is any indication, the high court likely won’t revisit the controversial decision it handed down last November. It is scheduled to take effect May 17.
