UConn LGBT Students Rejoice, The Connecticut Supreme Court Says Gay Marriage Is A-Okay

Most college students aren’t really thinking about marriage. (Except you over there with the wedding album on Facebook, I’m looking at you). But that doesn’t mean we don’t have our futures to think about.
 

And for gay students at UConn and in Connecticut in general, the future is looking bright. That is if you thinking being tied down and having sex with only one person for the rest of your life is reason to celebrate. The Connecticut Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage today.
 

The 4-3 decision makes Connecticut the third state to approve of gay marriage, joining Massachusetts and California in the homosexual loveboat. The Boston Globe explains the case:

The case, Kerrigan v. the state Commissioner of Public Health, was brought by eight same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses by the Madison town clerk. They argued that the state's civil union law was discriminatory and unconstitutional because it established a separate and therefore inherently unequal institution for a minority group. Citing equal protection under the law, the state Supreme Court agreed.

Hmmm, separate but equal isn’t equal at all? That sounds familiar. Oh, right, that was established in Brown v. Board of Education.
 

Look, with that one case, I just mentioned more Supreme Court cases than Sarah Palin has heard of. Maybe I should run for VP.
