Throwback Thursday
May 17 is marked on many calendars around Massachusetts – with good reason. That was the day same-sex marriage was legally recognized in the state. When this May 17, 2004 photo was taken, Hillary Goodridge (second from left), Julie Goodridge (right), their daughter Annie (second from right) and lawyer Mary Bonauto (left) celebrated as they left City Hall in Boston after the Goodridges became the first same-sex couple in the city to be allowed to apply for a marriage license. Bonauto was the lead lawyer in the case that legalized gay marriage in Massachusetts and the Goodridges were the lead couple of a total of 14 plaintiffs in the case.
