"Massachusetts legislators took a significant step on Monday toward banning gay \u201Cmarriage,\u201D but at the cost of legalizing \u201Ccivil unions,\u201D in a decision that has not pleased any side of the debate. The 105-92 vote in favor of banning gay \u201Cmarriage\u201D as stated by the state\u2019s Supreme Court, is the first step in a process that will require two and a half years to become an amendment to the State\u2019s constitution, the oldest in the country."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
