		Hillary Goodridge: Just to reinforce what everybody else has been saying, at the beginning they were really scared.
		In our view, really and honestly, this is controlled by Goodridge, and there are also other reasons why this 1913 law, not enforced for years, cannot suddenly spring into life, solely for the purpose, really, of barring same-sex couples from marriage, and we're going to have to sort it out in the courts.

	USCA1 Opinion 04-1621
		Julie Goodridge and her new spouse Hillary Goodridge, the named plaintiffs in the Goodridge case, along with several others, intervened in the federal action on the side of the defendants.
		From the initial premise that the state constitution was violated, the plaintiffs next asserted that the remedy in Goodridge violated their rights under the federal Guarantee Clause of the U.S. Constitution by depriving them of a republican form of government.
		Similarly, the plaintiffs argued that by altering the historic meaning of the term "marriage," which is contained in the Massachusetts Constitution, the SJC in Goodridge itself amended the state constitution, a process that normally must be initiated by voters of Massachusetts and acted upon by the legislature, see Mass.

		But when Hillary tried to see her, she was told she wasn't allowed.
		In the early years of the gay rights movement, sexual liberation was the dominant concern for many gay men; at the same time, large numbers of lesbians, strongly influenced by the women's movement, focused on building their own community around feminist and anti-patriarchal values.
