LGBT rights in Massachusetts
The establishment of LGBT rights in the U.S. state of Massachusetts is a recent phenomenon, with most advances in LGBT rights taking place since 1992. In 2004, it became the first U.S. state to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the decision in ''Goodridge v. Department of Public Health''.
==Early steps==
In September 1992, Governor William Weld issued an executive order allowing state employees to register as domestic partners "for purposes of bereavement leave and visitation rights in state prisons and hospitals."〔Yuval Merin, ''Equality for Same-Sex Couples: The Legal Recognition of Gay Partnerships in Europe and the United States'' (University of Chicago Press, 2002), 204〕 That same year he appointed a Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, which in turn produced a report ''Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth'' (1993). Its recommendations required schools to create policies to protect gay and lesbian students, create school-based support groups for them, train teachers and staff on gay issues, and incorporate information on gay issues into curriculum and libraries.〔Jean M. Baker, ''How Homophobia Hurts Children: Nurturing Diversity at Home, at School, and in the Community'' (Binghamton, NY: Harrington Park Press, 2002), 13〕 Gov. Mitt Romney disbanded the commission as well as another board, the Governor's Task Force on Hate Crimes, in 2003, citing budgetary concerns.〔''Boston Globe'': (Michael Levenson, "Debate on Romney's memory of incident," May 12, 2012 ), accessed May 30, 2012〕
