Congratulations Connecticut

Connecticut joins CA and MA as a state where gays and lesbians can legally marry, after a 4-3 decision by the CT Supreme Court. I'm hoping that a Democratic takeover of the State Senate in New York would allow my state to join their ranks (and be the first to do so by legislation). Governor Paterson has long been friendly to gay rights, and enacting marriage rights would be a great accomplishment for him, but I fear that the budget situation in Albany is going to preclude any kind of movement on this topic for a while.
