NEWS & FEATURES

Phoenix writers respond to the latest Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling on gay marriage.

The state's high court says civil unions won't do. Susan Ryan-Vollmar asks what the legislature will do.

The SJC's latest ruling is probably bad news for the Democratic frontrunner. Adam Reilly reports on Kerry's official statement disagreeing with the decision.

Contact your state reps and senators before next week’s legislative vote on an anti-gay-marriage amendment to the Constitution.

Adam Reilly profiles Senate president Robert Travaglini, who will be presiding over next week's state constitutional convention and thus holds the key to legislators' same-sex-marriage debate.

Kristen Lombardi talks with "former homosexual" Larry Houston, who spends every week up on Beacon Hill arguing that gayness is not a matter of identity, but of behavior, and that therefore gay men and lesbians are not entitled to civil rights. Is anybody listening?

John Kerry's primary comeback is already old news, says Dan Kennedy. Now he's got to define himself before the Republicans - and the media - do it for him.

In a stealth move, Governor Mitt Romney attached a number of mini-bills to his 2005 budget that introduce dramatic policy changes, David Bernstein reports. Clearly, he doesn't want them to receive the usual public scrutiny.

Think the government's recent ban on ephedra was put in place to protect the health and safety of fat people? Think again, says Camille Dodero.

Tamara Wieder talks with Nathaniel Kahn, whose new film, My Architect - recently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary - goes in search of answers about his father, renowned architect Louis Kahn, who died when Nathaniel was 11.

In "Out There," Rebecca Wieder cashes in.

In "Urban Buy," Kate Cohen says that now could be the winter of your content.
