Woo-hoo! Connecticut has become the third state in the U.S. to approve same-sex marriage. Connecticut follows Massachusetts and California in permitting same-sex marriage.
Read the New York Times report.
This is a victory for progress. “Civil unions” mean little when you’re face to face with bureaucracy or even just trying to answer a survey. Are you married, or not really?
We agree with Justice Richard N. Palmer, who said in part, “The institution of marriage carries with it a status and significance that the newly created classification of civil unions does not embody.”
As gays and lesbians who have already gotten married illustrate, we can live up to the responsibility of the institution of marriage as much as anyone.
Yours in good love and sex,
