The editorial staff writes, "With a 4-to-3 ruling on Friday that granted gay and lesbian couples the right to marry, the Connecticut Supreme Court ended a serious injustice within its own borders...The new ruling is especially timely. Californians are about to vote on a ballot initiative that in effect overturns the May ruling that gave gay people the right to marry. Its message about the unfairness of treating the relationships of same-sex couples as somehow inferior needs to be taken to heart." (Link)

Connecticut Ends Gay Couples’ Exclusion from Marriage

Connecticut now joins California and Massachusetts as the next state to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage with the Connecticut Supreme Court ruling to uphold the freedom to marry in Kerrigan and Mock v. the CT Department of Public Health.
Just like the California ruling earlier this year, the Connecticut high court understood that the only way to provide equality is through marriage. As we celebrate Connecticut, all fair-minded people need to join the effort to preserve the freedom to marry in California.

Justin R. Long, a visiting assistant professor at University of Connecticut School of Law, says it's unlikely a ruling on Kerrigan & Mock, et al. v. Connecticut Department of Public Health would take so long if the justices were unanimous. What's more probable is a split decision, and the crafting of dissenting and/or concurring opinions is responsible for the hold up. [Link]
