Separate is NOT Equal!
Kudos to Connecticut: The Connecticut Supreme Court gets it: Civil Unions are not equal to Marriage.

Full Disclosure: LK & I were married in Massachusetts August 28th. After 17+ years this feminist who thinks marriage as an institution needs to be interrogated actually found the act of marrying very moving. We married in my brother's memory, and for legal protections, that even with many many hundreds of dollars worth of legal documents did not have the same sway as the $35 Marriage License (plus the $75 for the Justice of the Peace, and $10 dollars for the actual certified marriage license).
