Pam BELLUCK
Highest court in Massachusetts removes state's last barrier to gay marriage, ruling that nothing short of full-fledged marriage will comply with its earlier ruling in Nov, and that civil unions will not pass muster; ruling means that starting May 17 same-sex couples can get married in state, making it only state to permit gay marriage; ruling is certain to inflame divisive debate in state legislatures nationwide and in this year's presidential race; ruling will probably give new impetus to push by many conservatives for constitutional amendment that would limit marriage to unions joining man and woman; Pres Bush condemns Massachusetts court's latest ruling but stops short of explicitly endorsing constitutional amendment; prospect of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts raises practical questions about what couple would be entitled to in terms of benefits from federal government as well as from other states that outlaw same-sex marriages; photo (M)
