word of the day : COGNIZABLE


 A non event.
The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled 4-3 in favor of eight gay couples who sued on the grounds that the state's 2005 civil unions law did not provide equal protection under its constitution. Explode all you want , gay left, over what Gavin Newsome said, BUT he was right. The Connecticut Court used VERY strong language:

We conclude that, in light of the history of pernicious discrimination faced by gay men and lesbians, and because the institution of marriage carries with it a status and significance that the newly created classification of civil unions does not embody, the segregation of heterosexual and homosexual couples into separate institutions constitutes a cognizable harm.
How else would my people celebrate?  A SHOW TUNE!
