NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A judge cleared the way Wednesday for gay marriage in Connecticut, a victory for advocates stung by California's referendum that banned same-sex unions in that state.
Some couples planned to celebrate by immediately marching to New Haven City Hall to get marriage licenses. At least one ceremony was scheduled Wednesday morning on the New Haven green.
Some of the eight couples who successfully challenged a state law prohibiting gay marriages last month wept as Judge Jonathan Silbert entered his judgment, based on a state Supreme Court ruling.
The judge's order marks "the end of a very long journey toward equality," said their attorney, Bennett Klein.
"Each of the plaintiffs asked me to convey to the court how proud they are to be citizens of this state," Klein said.
"It's a great day for Connecticut," plaintiff Robin Levine-Ritterman said.
The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4-3 on Oct. 10 that same-sex couples have the right to wed rather than accept a civil union law designed to give them the same rights as married couples.
