The Massachusetts Senate has just voted to repeal the 1913 law used to bar out-of-state gay couples from marrying in Massachusetts.
The repeal has the support of Gov. Deval Patrick, whose 18-year-old daughter announced publicly last month she is a lesbian.
The House is also expected to pass the repeal and a vote there is anticipated for later this week.
An analysis found repealing the law could draw thousands of couples to Massachusetts, boosting the economy by $111 million over three years.
