Massachusetts backs gay marriage

The US state of Massachusetts has ruled that same-sex couples are legally entitled to marry.
Massachusetts could become the first state to recognise gay marriage.
But the Supreme Judicial Court stopped short of ordering that marriage licences be issued to seven gay couples who challenged the law.
President George W Bush said the ruling violated the concept of marriage as a sacred institution and vowed to work with Congress to defend it.
