Updates on Marriage Equality

Perfect timing. On the day before Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, Ken Jost of Congressional Quarterly Press was a guest speaker in Adult Ed. This week, nearly a decade later, Jost was back. D.C. and 11 states have followed Massachusetts’ lead and at least a dozen countries are poised to pass arriage equality laws. ”Opponents no longer care about this issue like they did ten years ago,” he said. Still, Jost admits gay marriage issues will be with us awhile. “They won’t be covered up.”
