Conn. “Gay Couples Say Civil Unions Aren’t Enough”
Alison Leigh Cowan has this report on The NY Times discussing civil unions in Connecticut and the pending case before the Connecticut Supreme that seeks to redefine marriage. She writes:
Civil unions require constant “haggling, litigation and explanation,” said Evan Wolfson, the founder of a New York-based advocacy group called Freedom to Marry. Being married, he said, means “you don’t have to fumble for documents. You don’t have to hire an attorney, and you don’t have to consult a dictionary. You’re married. You know what it means, and everyone else knows what it means.”
