Marriage needs to be redefined

Bond should be rooted in equality, include same-sex partners

by Aaron Gadbury

I believe Supreme Court Justice Richard N. Palmer said it best when he wrote that denying marriage to same-sex couples would create separate standards. Connecticut, the third state to grant the right of marriage to same-sex couples, is proving that America is on its way to a more tolerant and open-minded nation. This is really the only way Americans should be, considering we were founded on the basis of diversity. (8) comments
