CT’s civil union bill is up for debate and possibly a vote today. The Hartford Courant has a long, long piece today about various people’s views on same-sex marriage and civil union.

I still don’t see what all the damn fuss is about. If you’re not gay, or are not at reasonable risk of "becoming" gay, then you have no business in this bill. How is a gay couple marrying or being joined in a civil union going to affect your own marriage? It simply is not. Why, then, is a significant portion of the state’s population and an even larger percentage of the national population against this? Seriously, I’m asking – leave comments.

I thought the country had settled on the notion of "equality for all", especially after the civil rights movement.

Additionally, this is going to be a busy week in the legal world. On top of the civil union bill (updates of which I will try to provide – work permitting), there is the Michael Ross competency hearing, slated for tomorrow and friday. There will be heavy posting on that.

Finally, from one captain to another – this is how we do it.
