Connecticut Supreme Court overturns same-sex marriage ban

By GottaLaff

The Connecticut Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage. This is great news:

Connecticut's Supreme Court ruled Friday that same-sex couples have the right to marry, making that state the third behind Massachusetts and California to legalize such unions.

The divided court ruled 4-3 that gay and lesbian couples cannot be denied the freedom to marry under the state constitution, and Connecticut's civil unions law does not provide those couples with the same rights as heterosexual couples.

Now if we Californians will take that cue to vote down that ridiculous Prop 8 attempt to disallow gay marriage, I'll feel a whole lot better. So far, my side is losing.
