It Doesn't Look Good for Gay Marriage
Politics / Religion Robert Gammon — Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:39 PM
It looks like the state Supreme Court is on its way to upholding Proposition 8, thereby keeping gay marriage illegal. The key to today's historic hearing was Justice Joyce Kennard, one of the four justices who voted last year to legalize same-sex marriage. It was clear from today's hearing that Kennard intends to uphold Prop.8 and bow to the majority of voters who voted for it. That means gay marriage supporters have to hope that one of the justices who voted last year against gay marriage will switch his or her vote -- an unlikely scenario. It looks like state-sanctioned discrimination will win the day.

It is my honor and delight to officiate for same sex marriages in Connecticut
I even advised all my 100 or so civil union couples that I would upgrade them to marriage for NO charge (if they came to Norwalk or Darien).
CT is proud to lead the way to provide this basic right to ALL couples.
CT is the ONLY state where a same sex couple can get married in one day- no residency requirement, no blood test, no witnesses. Just the $30 license fee and $10 for a certified copy plus the fee for the officiant (which varies by officiant and by location). I do the entire process for as little as $200 (includes license and certified copy).
I have couples who have flown in from CA, FL, TX, IN, OH, IL, Mexico and who have driven in or taken the train from NYC, NJ, PA, RI, VA
Most couples have been together for YEARS...including one couple from Florida who have been together for 45 years! Let people love each other and take care of each other. Isn't that what marriage is about?
