Connecticut Supreme Court Imposes Same-Sex 'Marriage'

"It's outrageous and shameful that the Connecticut Supreme Court took it upon itself to legislate from the bench," said FRCAction President Tony Perkins. "This radical redefinition of marriage will have severe consequences for children, families, religious liberties, businesses and every facet of society as we know it.

"This decision puts marriage at risk all across the nation and highlights the need for a Marriage Protection Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is imperative both Presidential candidates address the problems created by four activist judges inConnecticut. We call on Senators John McCain and Barack Obama to explain what they would do as President addressing the issue of same-sex marriage and articulating their criteria for ensuring that judges they appoint follow the law of the land and not legislate from the bench.

"Family Research Council had filed an amicus brief in the case to help ensure the preservation of one-man, one-woman marriage in the state ofConnecticut and we will continue to do so in cases across the nation that directly threaten the family."
