This gay marriage showdown between the states is worth a popcorn-munching kitty:


It's going to be weird having states with equal opportunity marriage laws neighboring states that exclude same-sex marriages. I'm a bit worried about Florida myself.

yay it will be legal all over before much longer

Texas is such an "individual rights" state. I wish the lege here would walk the talk.

Go CT! At what point does RI say "Aww fuck it...we're surrounded. Legalize the shit."

Cool news. Apparently there is going to be a celebration in downtime Hartford thrown together last minute to celebrate.


Edit: 5:30 rally then 7:30 party at the Hilton to celebrate. I'm going

And don't forget California! The poll numbers have flipped, and it looks same-sex marriage may lose in November, taking away what was given to us by the CA State Supreme Court.

3 states down, 47 to go. Unfortunately, my state of Virginia will prob be one of the last ones to do so, and only when the Supreme Court forces the issue.

Good job Connecticut!

They're DANCING IN THE STREET in Conn! YIPPEE!

Fantastic News! Hopefully this will help turn those California polls around. Shesh, what's New York and Rhode Island waiting for?

Wonderful news! Keep your eye on the California prize. That's the big fish. Not to diminish Connecticut's great and historic achievement.

The news is even bigger than just gay marriage. the ct court found that lgbt folk were similar to african americans and women prior to their movement and awarded lgbt people a suspect class under equal protection

Man, I am just elated!! I feel like handing out free kisses today. Who want's one first???? I'm puckered up... MUAH!!! And to the person who said Virginia would be last to legalize it, I think that distinction belongs to Texas. I'm just sayin...

ya it passed 4-3 today
there was big rally planned and stuff either way i guess
and party tonight in the capital

our stupid governor said she wasn't in agreement with decision

Way to go Conn supreme court!

Nice. I dont know what the big deal is. If your of age you should be able to marry whoever you want. I still cant believe other states havent legalized it yet.

CONGRADULATIONS CONNECTICUT!!!

Hey whoa!

Thanks for the news. Gonna shout that from a few rooftops.
