Equality in Connecticut

Here's an interesting article about the Connecticut Supreme Court's gay marriage decision. The rationale employed by the Court in its decision seems to be one of breaking down the arguments against rather than promoting the arguments for gay marriage.

Yes, I know that The New Republic is unapologetically liberal, and while the bias is evident in the article, the analysis of the decision is sound.

Before reading the article, I had never considered the difference between taking the fight for gay marriage to the courts or the legislature, but Richard Just uses two examples (the women's rights movement in the 70s and the recent California Supreme Court decision on gay marriage) to illustrate the caution that should be taken with either approach.

Take a look.
