Comments on: Connecticut OKs Same-Sex Marriage

State Supreme Court Rules Gays Have Right To Marry, Becoming 3rd State To Legalize Such Unions

I am very pleased this took place in CT.
But I am really surprised and blown away that it happened. I lived in CT most of my life...they are hard, cold and up tight Yankees that are proud to date back to the Mayflower and King George.

I love seeing the homophobes so scared by what other people do. Thomas Jefferson once said (in regards to religious differences, but it fits here) that if it "...neither breaks my leg, nor picks my pocket..." that he wasn''t worried about it. Too bad today''s bigots can''t be so wise.

I have many friends who should be allowed to marry in ANY state. Who they love has nothing to do with their worth as human beings. I know more fundigelical bigots who shouldn''t be allowed out in public than *** and lesbians.

Why can''t they just stay in the closet and not sicken the rest of us? It is not natural for a man to hold hands with some guy that has hands rougher than his. Go get help and let us alone.

Thoroughly repugnant and disgusting...

You are so correct, bigotry, hatred, judging, prejudice, obessed with other''s behavior is intollerabel and has no place in a civilized world. State issued licenses are not religious edicts.

FINALLY, AT LAST! I USE TO LIVE IN CT AS A LESBIAN AND NOW I LIVE IN CA AS A LESBIAN. BEEN WITH THE SAME WONDERFUL WOMAN FOR 25 YEARS. YES, WE ARE TOYING WITH IDEA OF TYING THE KNOT. STILL NOT TOO CLEAR OF ALL THE CHANGES THAT WILL OPEN.

To all of you who feel so strongly that allowing same *** couples to marry is wrong I ask this...Who the h.e.l.l. are you to deny someone''s right to be with whom they are attracted to? Who picked out your mate in life? What makes you so much more qualified than anyone else to enter into a union between two people who care and love one another?

These people are people all the same. They work, live very adequate lives, pay taxes, and want the same things out of life that you do! If you do not afford them the same rights that you have then why do they pay the same taxes you do?

I can not wait for God to come back and tell you ignorant S.O.B.s "That''s not what I meant!"

Ignorance will be the distruction of our world! Not g.a.y.s.!

This brings America closer to God and Democracy.

What a waste of tax payers money to see if these guys can rub each others hairy butts legally.

Vice is a monster of so frightful mein,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
(Alexander Pope, %u201CAn Essay on Man,%u201D l. 217.)

Best of luck. With even gay-centric magazine having posed the question of "Why" and "Are we ready for it", all this much ado about nothing.

We''ll see how things transpire in the future. I would wager it was a lot of money and time put down the shreeder.

I live in CT, but hopefully not much longer. This is a shame.

Thoroughly repugnant and disgusting. This only adds to the growing societal rejection of queer values. They just have to keep pushing their lifestyles in the face of normal people. This will only end up as it was in the old days, with massive intolerance, hate, and ridicule. This move is over the line. Acceptance of this kind of behaviour cannot be legislated. While queers may be coming out of the closet, millions of new closeted anti-queers are overcrowding. Don''t think for one minute that a law can stop the disdain the general populace feels for queers. I think we have put up with plenty, but a new war is now in progress with their ever in-your-face aggressive demands.

Incidentally, this is state #3 that allows gay marriage, along with California and Massachusetts. 47 to go!
