BREAKING…SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO HEAR CHILD-CENTERED ARGUMENT
August 7th, 2006 by Peter
New York’s highest court ruled last month that it is rational to consider the harm that same-sex “marriage” will do to children. Connecticut’s Supreme Court refused today to even consider the argument:
The Family Institute argues that the best interests of children are not protected by allowing them to be raised by gay couples, and that Blumenthal should have tried to get the case thrown out.
Peter Wolfgang, director of public policy at the Hartford-based institute, said Monday that the decision strengthens their resolve to seek a referendum on a proposal to change the state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and woman.
“We believe strongly that this court ruling proves this decision ought to be left to the citizens of Connecticut,” Wolfgang said. “We’re disappointed we didn’t win. We think the Supreme Court made the wrong decision and should have followed the good example set by New York’s highest court.”
Watch for further updates on what lies ahead for marriage protection in Connecticut.
