Here's how members of the Massachusetts House voted Tuesday on repealing a 1913 law that blocked out-of-state gays from marrying in Massachusetts if their union would not be legally recognized in their home state. The vote was 119-36, after one member on each side of the question was allowed to vote after time expired in the initial roll call. A majority vote was needed.

A "yes" vote was in favor of the repeal; a "no" vote was in support of maintaining the ban.
