Connecticut Joins Civilization

Hartford condos before gay marriage

....................and after!

Hey, Virginia, What's Keeping You?

(AP) HARTFORD, Conn. - A sharply divided Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Friday (Oct. 10, 2008) that gay couples have the right to get married, saying legislators did not go far enough when they approved same-sex civil unions that were identical to marriages in virtually every respect except the name.

Boy, will Tony Perkins be pissed! I'm sure FRC (Family Research Council) will fire off a fundraising newsletter about "activist judges" as soon aspossible!

"...identical to marriages in virtually every respect except the name." I love that. So what's in a name? Idea: maybe James Dobson of Focus on the Family should tell his followers to have their legislators RE-define one-man-one-woman marriages as "Pre-Gay Marriages"

"We perform only Pre-Gay Marriages at this church!"
"No, we decided on a Pre-Gay Marriage, didn't we honey? ...Honey?"
"Our event planners are experienced in both Pre-Gay and Gay Marriages!"

Seriously, Perkins et al keep saying that the "gay agenda" would re-define traditional marriage. I think he's scared that gay marriages might wind up lasting longer than straight ones. How would it re-define anything? Marriage is a commitment between two people who love each other. The one-man-one-woman "in love" concept has only been around for several hundred years. Two human beings committed to each other because of their love for one another has been around a lot longer.

Since the dawn of time.

Just a thought.
