Despite efforts by Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney to make same-sex marriage a wedge issue, all of the incumbent Massachusetts state legislators who voted against an anti-gay marriage amendment were re-elected in 2004.
Support for equal treatment of same-sex couples need not be an election liability. These election results demonstrate that constituents will re-elect pro-marriage incumbents.
