Civil Unions in Connecticut
An editorial in the New York Times (free registration required) supports civil unions in Connecticut. It notesIf the civil union law is enacted, Connecticut and California will be the only states to have enacted broad laws of this kind voluntarily. Vermont passed a civil union law under court pressure, and a court decision forced Massachusetts officials to recognize gay marriage. It's no small thing for a state legislature to take this step on its own. The constitutional rights of every American are safest when they're protected not by the judiciary alone, but also by the strong support of the citizenry as a whole.
