The MA house of representatives has voted to repeal a law that helped prevent their supreme court from forcing same-sex “marriage” on the rest of the country. From today’s Courant:
Opponents of gay marriage in Connecticut and Massachusetts denounced the House’s vote. Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, said the action will [...]

Campaign Pete wants FIC Blog’s readers to remember next Tuesday’s primaries. (FIC Action Committee will have more to say about them soon.) Excerpts from Pete’s comments in another thread:
A bunch of primaries take place in two weeks, on August 12th involving Pro-Marriage candidates, including:
(R) Witkos - Canton, State Senate
(D) Mazurek - Wolcott, State Rep
(R) Noujaim [...]

Of course, it always had national attention…from same-sex “marriage” proponents. Tim Gill and other out-of-state “gay” multimillionaires have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to Connecticut to help our opponents redefine marriage. But our pro-marriage allies have now taken an interest as well:
While most of [the National Organization for Marriage's] efforts between now and the November vote [...]

Below is a (slightly edited) e-mail we sent to our members yesterday.
In just a few weeks same-sex couples from Connecticut may be getting “married” in Massachusetts, if our neighboring state repeals a law respecting the marriage definition of other states.
In Connecticut, these “marriages” will have no effect. Thanks to the Family Institute of Connecticut, a [...]

Nearly everyone expects the Brass City’s two hospitals, St. Mary’s and Waterbury Hospital, to merge soon. One is a Catholic institution, the other is a secular one known to perform abortions. Buried deep in a May 12th Republican-American article on St. Mary’s interim CEO was this:
Asked whether he thinks religious issues–such as abortion–could derail or at least [...]

The best article so far on what the judicial tyranny in California may mean for Connecticut appeared in last week’s Hartford Advocate:
Of course, what the right thing to do is depends on your perspective. Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Hartford-based Family Institute of Connecticut, decried the decision of the California court, even while acknowledging it [...]

The bad news is that our “robed masters” in CA have imposed same-sex “marriage” on that state by judicial fiat. The good news is that freedom-loving citizens are fighting back, led in part by someone well-known to us:
SAN FRANCISCO — - With its declaration Thursday that gay couples can marry, California’s Supreme Court delivered a [...]

Any day now the Connecticut Supreme Court could be issuing a ruling imposing same-sex “marriage” by judicial fiat…despite the fact that it has been repeatedly defeated at the state legislature. FIC supports a constitutional convention and right of initiative law to stop the Left’s constant efforts to usurp democracy. The right of intiative is a [...]

The lead op-ed on the front page of the Courant’s April 27th Sunday Commentary section was, of course, yet another article for same-sex “marriage“:
Their anecdotes revealed common problems. For example, same-sex couples are often denied health benefits because of a provision in the federal Defense of Marriage Act. In numerous situations, hospital or social services [...]

It’s also said that gay marriage will eventually lead to polygamy and worse. This argument is without even the barest shred of merit.
–Genghis Conn on CT Local Politics, March 20, 2007
That didn’t take long. Barely a year after our opponents’ failed attempt to shout down the obvious truth that same-sex marriage could lead to polygamy, Connecticut’s [...]
