Gay Marriage is Legal in CT

I'm so happy that Connecticut has joined Massachusetts and California in legalizing same sex marriage, and I hope that the other 47 states join this union soon. However, it's troubling that Connecticut remains divided on this issue but it is comforting that the law cannot be appealed after October 28th. Hopefully Connecticut keeps this law.

Also, when Robert D. McFadden (the author of this article) compared the issue to gay rights to the limitations on women and blacks it was striking to me. I easily see the comparison and it frightens me. All of these issues seem to lead back to religious involvement in the government. Now I am not by any means criticizing religion, I think it's a wonderful thing, but I see the negative influence that it has on society. I believe that we should go back to what our founding father's wished: for the seperation of church and state.

Overall however, this article was well written and covered both sides well.
