CT APPROVES CIVIL UNIONS FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES: From the Associated Press

Connecticut on Wednesday became the second state to offer civil unions to gay couples--and the first to do so without being forced by the courts.

About an hour after the state Senate sent her the legislation, Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell signed into law a bill that will afford same-sex couples in Connecticut many of the rights and privileges of married couples. ...

Vermont is the only other state to allow civil unions. Massachusetts allows gay couples to marry. But those changes came about after same-sex couples won court battles. ...

Roman Catholics and pro-marriage activists plan a big rally Sunday in opposition to the bill.
