State Rep. Ben Swan
State Representative Ben Swan recently voted to have the definition of marriage change to a neutral definition. Unfortunately, this is not a big surprise as Swan voted for same sex marriage and denied the people's petition for a referendum on the definition of marriage. Now, Swan wants to ram his definition of marriage on all of us. Swan recently joined other Legislators in supporting House Bill H1710. The House Bill was stopped dead on its track after the people flooded the legislature with calls, e-mails and faxes, expressing their opposition.
As it stands now, the definition of marriage in Massachusetts's is an union between a man and a woman. Gay marriage is legal through the shameful Goodridge Supreme Judicial Court decision.
Mr. Swan has a lot of explaining to do.
Mr. Swan, why do you refuse to let the people vote on a public referendum about marriage, yet you insist in changing the definition of marriage?

Just another effort to break down the fundamentals of the traditional family.I doubt very much that Rep. Swan represents the feelings of the community on this issue.
Mr. Swan knows that if the rights of individuals had been put up for a public vote in the 1950's, we would still be a segregated society. Basic human rights do not come opinion polls, they are basic rights.
congrats to Mr. Swan for fixing what should be clear: marriage is a civil ceremony...for those who want to enforce religious views, you have that right--in your own religion.
