The US Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to take up a case seeking to force the Washington, D.C., government to hold a referendum on the city’s gay marriage law. The high court declined to hear an appeal filed on behalf of opponents of a March 2010 law that made the District of Columbia the sixth jurisdiction in the United States authorizing gay and lesbian couples to marry
The same thing happen in Massachusetts several years ago, it was procedural that the definition of marriage wouldn't become a ballot question. That was a decision done by the state legislature.
Being it is a one party state, and the state Republican (in name only) party holds a platform in favor of marriage redefined here in Massachusetts, it will have to take a significant change in who is elected. I don't think it will happen, but I'm still in shock and awe that Scott Brown was elected. Respectfully, the local Democrats did an amazing job to get out the vote with their base in 2010, it also helped we had some really crappy Republican candidates.
