In Boston legislators are convening again today for a constitutional convention to decide whether to amend the state constitution and ban same-sex marriages. On Wednesday lawmakers narrowly rejected a compromise that sought to legalize civil unions but ban same-sex marriages. The move to debate such an amendment to the stat constitution comes one week after the state’s highest court ruled that same-sex couples were entitled to marriage — not simply civil unions.
