GAY STUFF: CONNECTICUT SUPREME COURT SAYS YES TO GAY MARRIAGE!!!


Hell yea, Connecticut. And it's too late to get it on the ballot. From the MSNBC story:

Connecticut's Supreme Court ruled Friday that same-sex couples have the right to marry, making that 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.

"I can't believe it. We're thrilled, we're absolutely overjoyed. We're finally going to be able, after 33 years, to get married," said Janet Peck of Colchester, who was a plaintiff with her partner, Carole Conklin.

I will do a history of gay marriage tonight, but -- HELL YEA CONNECTICUT!!!

4-3 ... it was close. But it's ok :-).
