HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut became the ninth state involved in a same-sex marriage lawsuit Aug. 25 when seven homosexual couples who had been denied marriage licenses sued the state.
Connecticut is but the latest state forced to defend its marriage laws against same-sex marriage supporters. Lawsuits have been filed this year in California, Florida, Maryland, New York, Oregon and Washington. Indiana and New Jersey also are in court.
Among the legal groups representing the couples are Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), the same organization that successfully sued in Massachusetts for legalized same-sex marriage there. (TAB)
