Building Beloved Community

Quotation by Quotation

Recently Massachusetts celebrated being the first state to legalize same-sex marriage 20 years ago in the Goodridge v. Department of Public Health opinion.

Our Winchester UU Society is a “radically inclusive” Welcoming Congregation. We publicly express our support with banners, inside and outside our building. 

Boston columnist Renee Graham noted that a part of then Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall’s majority opinion has become a part of wedding ceremonies, an unusual role for a court opinion.

“Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family. … Because it fulfils yearnings for security, safe haven, and connection that express our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life’s momentous acts of self-definition.”

—Gloria Legvold, for the Racial Justice Team Planning Group
