Legislator's vote against gay marriage spurs backlash
Shirley Gomes has represented Provincetown, Massachusetts, and surrounding communities for several years now as a liberal Republican, many people crossing party lines to vote for her. After her recent vote against same-sex marriage in the state, three Democrats have sprung up to challenge her, and Gomes says she has received many many calls about the issue. Local gay rights groups are supporting Sarah Peake, a lesbian, to replace Gomes, and are helping her become more than a one-issue candidate.
