Connecticut Supreme Court Rules for Gay Marriage
October 10, 2008 by James Hipps
In a 4-3 decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled today that the state’s ban on permitting marriage rights for same-sex couples was discriminatory. In an 85-page decision the state’s highest court determined that Connecticut’s civil unions did not create protections equal to those available to heterosexual married couples.
Same-sex couples will likely be allowed to marry by the end of the year.
Just heard a hilarious - and dead on - send up of the “Really, we’re not homophobic, we’re just trying to save the institution of marriage” crowd. It’s called “Save the Institution!” I heard it at http://www.myspace.com/rbuch A rare combination of well produced and smart.
