Gay Marriage NOW LEGAL in Connecticut!

Quote:

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4-3 on Oct. 10 that same-sex couples have the right to wed rather than accept a civil union law designed to give them the same rights as married couples.

The health department had new marriage applications printed that reflect the change. Instead of putting one name under "bride" and the other under "groom," couples will see two boxes marked "bride/groom/spouse."

I believe licenses weren't being issued while it was being adjudicated by the Connecticut Supreme Court.

eta: Apparently the decision came down in October...I would guess that county clerks were given a month to reformat marriage certificates to include the options Morrigoon cited.

Ok, I'm confused. The Connecticut Supreme Court ruling came down a few weeks ago, I thought. How is it they were still "adjudicating" it?

No matter, really. It's nice that the cradle of liberty has returned to New England. But Massachusetts and Connecticut make a mockery of California. Hurrah for them. Boo for us. We Suck.

yes, we suck ... and it seems most Californians just can't get over that.

It was my guess. I knew at one point it ws being adjudicated. I didn't realize the decision came down in October.

See my above edit.

Perhaps it took a month for the law to go into effect, like it did in Cali.

The final judgement came in this morning-

Quote:

Wednesday morning Judge Jonathan Silbert entered the final judgment, allowing for same-sex couples to marry in Connecticut. The ruling makes any law that prohibits marriage between same-sex couples illegal in the state.

- WFSB Hartford

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4-3 on Oct. 10 that same-sex couples have the right to wed rather than accept a civil union law designed to give them the same rights as married couples.
