MassEquality

State lawmakers are pushing to repeal some of Massachusetts' archaic laws against "lascivious" acts that many say discriminate against LGBTQ people. Also on the chopping block are laws against blasphemy, tattoos, and adultery.

Irish hats off to newly elected Boston Mayor Marty Walsh for brokering an understanding between South Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade and MassEquality, a  gay advocacy group.
