US Senate passes gay marriage bill — In this March 11, 2004 file photo, James Jenner, of Boston, left, and James Murphy, of Cambridge, Mass. show their support for same-sex marriage in front of the Statehouse in Boston. Several thousand people on both sides of the same-sex marriage issue gathered as state legislators debated a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Itâs been a decade since the highest court in Massachusetts issued its landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage by declaring that barring marriage for gay couples is unconstitutional. Since then, 14 other states and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage, with Illinois posed to become the 16th state next week when the governor is expected to sign a gay marriage bill into law.
