There were three articles in

There were three articles in The Hartford Courant today concerning gay marriage. I suppose this issue has brought out the activist in me that I used to have many years ago. Since this issue has come to my state, the emotions that this issue raises has come to the surface. As you've seen in my previous entries, I had corresponded with Senator Win Smith, Jr. (R-Milford) on this subject. He is sponsoring a bill that would make marriage only legal between a man and a women. One of the articles was authored by him and of course, argues that we must not recognize gay partners what so ever. The other article was authored by Michael P. Lawlor, a Democrat from East Haven who is co-chairman of the legislature's Judiciary Committee. He is for the legal recognition of same-sex partners. The third article is an editorial from Susan Campbell which is extremely well written and articulated. I hope you have time to read all three.
