As you must know—if not, shift in your male lover card—Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriages.

Others, not born here, come from all across America and the world, to live across the river in Cambridge, home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; or to attend one of another 52 institutions of higher education in Metropolitan Boston.
