You live in Taxachusetts?

Ya think one of these days the citizens can actually vote on the issue,

That would be inappropriate, for the same reason that it would be wrong to
launch a referendum on whether interracial couples should be prohibited from
marrying, or whether Jews should be required to wear yellow stars.

Democracy is not the same as absolute tyranny of the majority. In a
democracy, equality before the law enjoys constitutional protections that
cannot be overridden by a majority vote.

(In addition to being inappropriate, a referendum on the issue would not
change the law: a solid majority of Massachusetts citizens and legislators
support same-sex marriage rights.)
