Mass. Senate Votes to Repeal Marriage Ban

July 17th, 2008 | Category: Podcast

BOSTON, July 16 (UPI)

The Massachusetts state Senate has voted to repeal a 1913 law that prevents non-resident gay and lesbian couples from getting married there.

The bill must still pass the state Assembly and be signed by Gov. Deval Patrick, The Boston Globe reported.

The law bars couples from marrying in Massachusetts when their unions would not be legal in their home state. It was aimed at interracial couples who could not marry legally in many states at the time.

The Roman Catholic Church opposed the repeal, with Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston and other bishops appealing to the Legislature. But there were no protesters outside and no senators supported the law.

“People have become resigned to the fact that all the chaos that was predicted in 2004 — the sky was going to fall, it would be catastrophic — it never happened. And so it has become, as we expected it would, as

much a part of the reality of life in Massachusetts as anything else,” said Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, a Democrat.

The state Supreme Court ruled in 2004 that banning gay marriage violated the state constitution. Attempts to amend the constitution have failed.

Brother Says Ritchie Caused Madonna Rift

July 14th, 2008 | Category: Podcast

NEW YORK, July 14 (UPI)

Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone says Guy Ritchie, the British filmmaker who married the pop star, is responsible for a rift between the siblings.

Ciccone, who is openly gay, claimed in an exclusive interview with “Good Morning America,” that Ritchie is a homophobe and is responsible for the estrangement between Ciccone and his sister, ABC News said on its Web site.

Ciccone was on the show to promote his new memoir, “Life With My Sister Madonna,” which was released Monday.

In an interview that aired on “GMA” Monday, Ciccone was asked what happened to his once close relationship with his sister.

“Guy Ritchie pretty much happened to our relationship, for the most part,” he replied. “The best way to get to my sister is to get in bed with her, you know what I mean? And since I wasn’t doing that, and … wasn’t about to, you know, that person — like I said — who speaks to her, the last person to speak to her at night, has the most influence. And (Guy and I) both couldn’t really exist in the same hemisphere.”

ABC News said Madonna’s spokeswoman has declined to comment on Ciccone’s various claims until his new book was released.

“I’m not taking revenge at all,” Ciccone said of the book on “GMA.” “I’m telling what I consider to be a great tale.”
