CT Closer to Same Sex Unions
State supported same-sex unions may be legal in Connecticut soon. The proposal, which has moved out of a legislative committee, will create civil unions for gays and lesbians but stops short of granting marriage licenses. Political analysts say the bill has bipartisan support in the legislature and at the moment looks like it will pass before they let out in June. Republican Governor M. Jodi Rell says that she wants to review the language before she comments on whether she would sign the bill. She has previously said that she supports civil rights for same-sex couples but that marriage should only be between one man and one woman.
