Big News on the Equality Front

By Jesse Singal - Oct 10th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

Reuters:

The Connecticut Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage on Friday in a victory for gay-rights advocates that will allow couples to marry in the New England state.

The court found that the state’s law limiting marriage to heterosexual couples discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.

Connecticut is now the third state in the country to allow gay marriage, following neighboring Massachusetts, the first state to allow it, and California.

The conservative reaction to this will be delightful.
