Connecticut ruling for ban on same-sex marriage is overturned

Its about time... CT is the third state in the country to legalize gay marriage. Now we all know that marriage isn't right for everyone - some ppl are completely content with remaining single in the eyes of the government/society whereas others are overjoyed by long overdue opportunity granted to same-sex couples. Marriage can mean economic/legal/personal benefits - it can help those strengthen their relationship or simply provide a same-sex couple the protection that every other heterosexual couple is privy to. The court ruling overturning the lower courts decision to ban same-sex marriage in CT is providing choice to same-sex couples as opposed to denying them the same opportunity as hetero couples in this hegemonic society.

Anywho take a look at the article... this is just one more state closer to a country of actual choices and true democracy.
