Conneticut begins to allow first gay marriages today.
Here is an article that explains how the feat was achieved: Gay Marriages in Conneticut.
Essentially, it boiled down to a lawsuit, and the “separate but equal clause” being denied, and a 4-3 ruling of the CT Supreme Court. An earlier vote by the citizens of the state rejected an amendment to the state constitution to ban gay marriage.
The first license issued in New Haven went to plaintiffs Robin Levine-Ritterman and Barbara Levine-Ritterman, they have been together since 1989.
Congrats! Mazel-Tov!
Presently, only MA and CT are the only states that allow for gay marriage.
