GAY CONN. COUPLES SUE TO MARRY: From 365Gay.com

A lawsuit challenging Connecticut's refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples was filed Wednesday in New Haven Superior Court.
Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, the Boston-based group that won marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples in Massachusetts, launched the suit on behalf of seven couples from across Connecticut who were recently denied marriage licenses in Madison, Connecticut. ...

Five of the seven couples have young children; some have faced health issues and worry about being denied access to one other in times of crisis. While all the couples are concerned about receiving the full range of protections that only flow through marriage, many also believe that only marriage will convey the depth and commitment of their relationships to their families and the world at large.
