Connecticut Ruling Overturns Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
Connecticut's Supreme Court ruled Friday that same-sex couples have the right to marry, making the 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.

Isn't is wonderful to see bad legislation/bad ideas/wrong ideas crumble because they really don't have a foundation in intelligent thinking??
One state at a time.
I still think this entire gay marriage issue can be solved by not allowing governments to issue marriage licenses. Governments--county clerks, town halls--should issue only civil union licenses. I say this because the majority believes that marriage is a religious institution. As such, it shouldn't have a civil government component.
