We want to fill the hearing room with our yellow EQUALITY stickers on Friday to show legislators and Governor Rell that Connecticut is proud of our new law allowing same-sex couples to marry.

 PLEASE JOIN US AT THE HEARING ON FRIDAY!

SB 899, An Act Implementing the Guarantee of Equal Protections Under the Constitution of the State for Same-Sex Couples, will:

--Conform our state statutes to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Kerrigan and remove all “DOMA-like” language.
--Provide for recognition, by the state of Connecticut, of marriages, civil unions, and domestic partnerships from other states which provide substantially similar benefits to marriage.
--Urge other states to recognize all of Connecticut’s marriages.
--Remove demeaning language that was included in statute with the passage of the “gay rights law” in 1991.
--Clarify the status of civil unions, merging them into marriages after October 2010.
