<p><a href="http://twoladiesinwaiting.com/2009/03/20/the-case-of-the-mysterious-disappearance-of-our-marriage/">Two Ladies in Waiting takes a fascinating  and fresh look at same-sex marriage, constitutional rights, federalism, civil unions through the lens of their honeymoon</a>. Really good stuff. This is one of the best blog entries that I&#8217;ve read in a long time.</p>
<p>For the record, my wife and I also drove to Quebec for our honeymoon. We remained married the whole time.</p>

<p>Uncertainty can make life uncomfortable for citizens, lawyers, and judges &#8211; it&#8217;s generally a bad thing.</p>
<p>Today, the legislature is holding a hearing on exactly what to do in the wake of Kerrigan. <a href="HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut lawmakers plan a public hearing on updating state laws to reflect last year's state Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriages.">Link.</a></p>
<p>Proposed legislation would transform all civil unions into marriages by October 2010 and clean up statutory language restricting marriage between a man and a woman.</p>
<p>You can read the <a href="http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/CGABillStatus/CGAbillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&amp;bill_num=SB899">text of the bill here</a>. The bill is called: &#8220;An Act Implementing the Guarantee of Equal Protection under the Constitution of the State for Same-Sex Couples.&#8221;</p>
<p>Congratulations to local bloggers at <a href="http://twoladiesinwaiting.com/2009/03/03/we-take-a-village/">&#8220;Two Ladies In Waiting&#8221; </a> who are geting married on Saturday.</p>
