Gov. Deval Patrick today became the first sitting governor to march in Boston's gay pride parade.
Strolling alongside Mayor Thomas Menino, Patrick waved to the crowd amid cheers as the parade made its way through Boston's South End.

Gov. Deval Patrick said he'll ask lawmakers to postpone next week's scheduled vote on a proposed constitutional amendment barring gay marriage if he doesn't think there are enough votes to kill the measure.
"We want a vote that goes the right way, that keeps us off the ballot," Patrick said Thursday after attending an evening fundraiser for MassEquality, an advocacy group that opposes the amendment. "If we need more time, we'll ask for more time."
It still boggles my mind that a politician, and one as far up as governor, is actually fighting for my rights. And did he really say "us" or am I just imagining that? Pardon me while I get a little misty.
