Fail: Effort to bring back law against miscegenation
Bay Windows reports that MassResistance, which employs "documentary makers" who strip when being chased by police, couldn't collect enough signatures to get a 2010 ballot question on bringing back the 1913 law used to bar out-of-state gay and lesbian couples from marrying here.
The group needed roughly 33,000 signatures; it collected only 10,500.
The law was originally passed to block non-residents of different races from marrying in Massachusetts; Mitt Romney resurrected it in his battle against gay marriage.

According to Camenker, even the Archdiocese told them to get lost. Heh.
