speaking of the capital, love makes a family (ct) wants us all to REPRESENT at the legislative office building today. i may stop on by after work. the following is from love makes a family:
The CT legislature’s Judiciary Committee will hold a public hearing on the Marriage Codification bill on Friday, March 6, at 10am in Room 2C of the Legislative Office Building.
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 FOR ALL OR PART OF 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 discriminatory “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.
