Connecticut Allows Gay Marriage

After ten years, the General Assembly legalizes gay marriage in Connecticut. The Governor of Connecticut, M. Jodi Rell should be signing the bill in to law on Wednesday, even though she believes marriage should remain between a man and a woman. Connecticut's previous law accepted gay marriage as a civil union and gave them the same rights as a man and a woman, but this new law will recognize gay marriage. The state law in Connecticut now defines marriage as the union between two people.
Connecticut is the fourth state to allow gay marriage, along with Iowa, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Now, Connecticut must make sure that gay couples also follow the same laws as straight couples.
To make religious followers happy the government has made it legal to deny any service to gay couples such as goods, receptions, and other religious services to gay couples. The government wanted to not only ensure the rights of the Constitution for gay couples, but they also wanted to make sure that they maintain the free exercise of religion as well. An executive director at the Family Institute of Connecticut is happy that this addition has been made to the bill because it does not only address one group of pepople on ne side of the problem. This bill also changed the language of a 1991 anti- discrimination law from not condoning any homosexual, bisexual, or any other related activity, to the teaching of and establishing a quota for gay individuals.
Although I do not agree with gay marriage and I think that it is against the intended purposes of marriage and most religions, the government and other individual who are only mere human beings as well, should never have the right to determine what someone can and cannot do in their life, especially if it makes them happy. There are some people who do not believe in religion and think that Christianity is a man made religion. Why should someone else suffer because another human being has made a rule that gay marriage is not right. I think that on matters like gay marriage, abortion, and death, the government has no right to tell someone what they can and cannot do. The major issue with gay marriage is that it goes against most religions, well I think that the consequences of someones actions should be left up to them, because it is their life, and they are the ones who will have to deal with the consequences in the present and after life.
