GLAD Celebrates Connecticut's Marriage Equality Anniversary

CT Married Couples to be Surveyed about DOMA

Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, which won marriage equality in Connecticut through their court victory in Kerrigan & Mock v. Department of Public Health, will mark the first anniversary with a little celebration and a little investigation.


"The past 12 months have seen amazing progress, with Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Iowa all achieving marriage equality," said GLAD attorney Bennett Klein, who argued the Kerrigan case before Connecticut's Supreme Court.

"As we share the joy and happiness of lesbian and gay couples in Connecticut, we know we have more to do to end discrimination, in other states and at the federal level."

GLAD and Love Makes a Family will join married couples, including many of the lawsuit's plaintiffs, at the State House for an anniversary photo at 3:30, followed by cake, champagne, and a toast in the Old Judiciary Room.
