Connecticut legalizes same-sex marriage!

Quick hit: The Connecticut Supreme Court struck down the legislature's ban on same-sex marriage.

Justice Richard N. Palmer, majority opinion: "Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice...To decide otherwise would require us to apply one set of constitutional principles to gay persons and another to all others."

There will be no appeal, and the legislature is expected to pass a law confirming the decision.

Best wishes to all CT same-sex couples who can now marry!
