If you read the links, one of them specifically states:
The highest court in Massachusetts ruled Tuesday it is unconstitutional for the state to deny marriage to gay and lesbian couples, a move that could make the state the first to legalize same-sex marriages.
In other words, the ban is gone, yes. Is it legal? Maybe.
My boss is head of the RI Alliance, and she knows that wording is everything. :)
