CALIFORNIA FAITH FOR EQUALITY, a statewide network of congregations and people of faith united for equality, celebrates the decision made today by the Connecticut Supreme court that same sex couples have the fundamental right to marry.
“We are pleased that another state has recognized that same sex couples have the fundamental right to marry,” said Kerry Chaplin, Interfaith Organizing Director for CALIFORNIA FAITH FOR EQUALITY.

“As people of faith, we believe that laws should not treat people differently. We recognize that same sex couples are part of our community and worship with us regularly. Our faith traditions teach us to love our neighbor and we believe that ALL our neighbors – not just some – should have the same fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that marriage can bring.

“We are not surprised that some faith traditions do not want to marry same sex couples. That is their right. However, it is not the right of these religious traditions to define for EVERY faith who they can and cannot marry. Today we have another indication that more and more Americans join us in supporting marriage equality.”
