(Via Connecticut Local Politics) The Courant reports that a Connecticut judge has ruled:
“Civil union and marriage in Connecticut now share the same benefits, protections and responsibilities under law,” Judge Patty Jenkins Pittman in New Haven wrote. “The Connecticut Constitution requires that there be equal protection and due process of law, not that there be equivalent nomenclature for such protection and process.”
We’ll just have to ignore the legal distinctions made in the federal tax code, won’t we?
