As with California, the Connecticut's Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage does not signal the end of the fight for equal rights. The AP is reporting:
Now that the Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled same-sex couples have the right to wed, opponents of gay marriage are pinning their hopes on an infrequent ballot question in a longshot bid to block the unions. Every 20 years, voters can force a convention during which delegates can rewrite the entire constitution. It's a long, painstaking process that could cost millions and, by coincidence, it's on the ballot this November.
Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut say, "This is our one opportunity for the people to have a voice, for the people to be heard, for them to decide whether marriage will be protected as between a man and a woman."
Has anyone who has ever fought against civil rights ever been on the good side of history?
