Connecticut Ruling Overturns Ban on Same-Sex Marriage

Connecticut Ruling Overturns Ban on Same-Sex Marriage would normally be big news. But during financial armeggedon it turns out the Republicans have more to worry about. This is still big news even though the NYTimes only gave in a little 1.5 inch wide column on the front page.

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled on Friday that same-sex couples have the right to marry, reversing a lower court decision that had concluded that the civil unions legalized in the state three years ago had offered the same rights and benefits as marriage.

With the 4-to-3 ruling, Connecticutbecomes the third state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. California legalized gay marriage in May 2008, and Massachusetts in 2004.

It is nice to see some good in this world and not just a bunch of news stories about how everyone in the world is broke. Oh and another good news story is that Oil has fallen to $82.99 so gas is cheaper. But that really doesn't matter because soon we will all be unemployed and will have nowhere to drive.
