Gay Marriage Is Ruled Legal in Connecticut - NY Times.com

A sharply divided Connecticut Supreme Court struck down the state’s civil union law on Friday and ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Connecticut thus joins Massachusetts and California as the only states to have legalized gay marriages. The ruling, which cannot be appealed and is to take effect on Oct. 28, held that a state law limiting marriage to heterosexual couples, and a civil union law intended to provide all the rights and privileges of marriage to same-sex couples, violated the constitutional guarantees of equal protection under the law.

Anything else you'd like to share:
Some of the things I love about life are: the scenery of the white lines on the highway at night... nibbling on a lover's neck and feeling him yield himself to me... the way wind feels on my body, or the way it sweeps around the bedroom as I lay snuggled under the covers... spooning with a special friend all night... the sound of music from an acoustic guitar being played with melodic and rhythmic authority... the smell and taste of a black man's dick... being tantalized by a warm mouth as my nerve endings dance... pushing myself up into my baby, lost in the love of him... having him receive me whole and hungrily push back against me for more... public speaking... creative writing... beauty in any form... the open sky... starry nights... dreadlocks… androgynous men… spending time alone… spending time with my friends... finishing a project... sensing something Greater than myself in joyous bursts from the center of my chest... the surcharging silence-smile of Self in my meditation...waking up... answered prayers... the distraction of strong attraction... connecting with someone "on the high level"... witnessing someone's love for me being displayed… the opportunity to be of service to others.

Hey, Thanks Yeah I realized right off it was a scam... LOL.. while I may be one of the worst in terms of grammatical errors their poor grammar is always a give away...usually they are Russian... I too hang tuff with Tribe...but they keep testing my faith...LOL... That and umm I am sort of feeling its becoming sort of cliquish... I seem to get a bit more AGE discriminated against there by certain groups and people... but I still like it. They really need to get the software together... I have a hard time editing things after I post them like my Vid's from Youtube... And Thanks for the note...
