Monday is the day!
Come to Hartford at noon for the Judiciary Committee vote on the marriage codification bill!
The legislature’s Judiciary Committee is voting Monday (3/30) on the marriage codification bill SB 899: An Act Implementing the Guarantee of Equal Protection under the Constitution of the State for Same-Sex Couples.
Although marriage equality is here to stay in Connecticut, the bill is important: It would finally remove demeaning anti-gay language from CT statutes, provide a means for merging civil unions and marriages by October 2010, and provide for recognition of marriages, civil unions, and domestic partnerships from other states.
It is critical that we have supporters in the room. Even an hour of your time will help!
The meeting begins at 12noon in Room 2C of the Legislative Office Building.
Directions and parking info are here.
We have been told that at least one committee member will try to introduce hostile amendments to provide unconstitutional religious exemptions. Legislators on the committee need to understand that this is unacceptable, and your presence will convey that.
