This just in: You and your same-sex partner can get married in Connecticut as well as Massachusetts and California. I hear wedding bells from a whole state away.
(Thanks to Virginia for the heads up.)

That's great! Eventually maybe this kind of ruling will make WA State's Supreme Court re-visit its ruling on same-sex marriage from a few years ago that, in its opening statement, explained the state's marriage law was enacted to "PROMOTE PROCREATION and to ENCOURAGE STABLE FAMILIES."
This argument sets back all women's rights gains in a stunning way. And it makes marriage equality an important issue for any feminist... Thanks for fighting the good fight for the whole sisterhood!
