civil unions in ct?

[cassandra uprising]

sb 963 an act concerning civil unions passed the ct state senate 27/9 yesterday and will most likely pass the house. i've heard that the house may vote on the bill on monday. i'll be you posted. (no pun intended) i don't know if my stomach can take all this.

the gov may sign the bill. she's very popular and if both the senate and the house are giving her strong votes in the affirmative, how could she not?

a friend of mine is a reporter wnpr and she feels pretty strongly that the gov will sign it.

we couldn't end the death penalty. with mike ross, there wasn't a rep from eastern ct who could have voted for the bill. it would have been political suicide. (the bill would have waved the death penalty to ct's 8 currently on death row)

but it is very possible that civil unions could pass and be signed into law. there is no language in the bill that defines marriage, civil unions in ct won't be recognized in other states, and won't have any federal recognition or benefits.

stayed tuned and stay strong in the fight for civil rights.
