As of November 12,this past Wednesday, Connecticut can officially marry same sex couples. As of Wednesday, Connecticut can officially hand out marriage licenses to same sex couples. Four years ago Massachusetts began to marry same sex couples and now Connecticut has followed. Many people believe that since people are now on the idea of gay rights they are more comfortable with gay and lesbian couples.
Even though Connecticut has taken a step into accepting gay and lesbian couples, many states voted against it in the recent election. Voters in California, Arizona and Florida all voted down the right to marry gay couples. This was a shock for many Californians because since this past June there have been over 17,000 gay and lesbian weddings.
Even though very few states allow gay marriage, many people living in Connecticut believe we are taking the right path on the issue. People in East Haven and Bristol are excited by the new law and are supporting everyone who is able to get married now.
