Again a mere one-judge majority has taken it upon itself to redefine law without logic.
The "seperate but equal" chant is misapplied. In the cases where it was used in the past there was a real, physical seperation. In the present sitution we are talking about different benefits assigned to different relationships.
These new laws will force the schools to include books like "Heather has two Momies" in the set of readings that Kindergartners are opposed to.
Is that what you want your five year old to learn about in school?

What are "Momies" and why does Heather have two of them?

This is a debate of Religious Freedom verses those who want to make society force conformity.
The pro-same-sex marriage lobby wants to use the courts and the police as a club to hurt our religious freedom.
Some people have argued that we should not care that Catholic Family Services has been forced to stop adoptions in Boston because LDS Family Services will not be forced to stop adoptions.
This however only makes sense if we only care about religious freedom if it directly effects us.
However I believe with Joseph Smith "We claim the privelege of worshipping almighty God and grant others the right to worship how, what or where they choose".
This means that if people feel that the way they worship God is by using peyote or by killing goats then I will let them do it.
This also meanst that if the way they advance the work of God is by running an adoption service that allows children to be places with any married parents, but they will be disallowed from doing so because they will never place children with same gender couples I will oppose the change of the marriage laws.

A civil union does not give all the same benefits of marriage. For gay in Utah, there are multiple legal forms to complete to get a few dozen of the benefits of marriage and nothing but marriage itself will grant the over 3,000 benefits of marriage.
Congratulations Connecticut on joining the side of truth and right.
