BREAKING…PRO SAME-SEX “MARRIAGE” BILL AT LEGISLATURE
March 17th, 2006 by Peter
A bill designed to open the door for the legalization of same-sex “marriage” in Connecticut was referred to the Judiciary Committee this morning. S.B. 699, An Act Concerning Recognition of Foreign Contracts, would change state law to make same-sex “marriages” from foreign jurisdictions (Massachusetts, other countries) “not less than” the equivalent of same-sex civil unions in Connecticut. Current state law does not recognize same-sex “marriage” and our civil union law explicitly defines marriage as occurring between a man and a woman.
Indeed, that definition is the true target of this bill. With the same-sex “marriage” Kerrigan case pending in our courts, pro same-sex “marriage” activists are looking for any opportunity to pressure the courts to rule in their favor. If this bill were to pass it would weaken the legal definition of marriage, providing further ammunition to the plaintiffs in Kerrigan and setting the legislature up for still further legislation designed to push the courts toward a judicial imposition of same-sex “marriage.”
FIC members should watch this space and their e-mail inboxes for information on what they can do to stop this latest assault on the sanctity of marriage in Connecticut.
