Looks like gay couples [b]WILL have the right to "Marry" after all:

""The history of our nation has demonstrated that separate is seldom, if ever, equal" the four justices who ruled in favor of gay marriage wrote in the advisory opinion requested by the state Senate."

"The Massachusetts court said any civil unions bill that falls short of marriage would establish an "unconstitutional, inferior, and discriminatory status for same-sex couples."

I personally thought a civil union would have appeased the court, but I guess not. Oh well, looks like the genie is out of the bottle now, or should I say its out of the closet...[/b]
