In the decision making gay marriage legal in the state of Massachusetts, Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall writes,
“Marriage is a vital social institution. The exclusive commitment of two individuals to each other nurtures love and mutual support; it brings stability to our society. For those who choose to marry, and for their children, marriage provides an abundance of legal, financial, and social benefits. In return, it imposes weighty legal, financial, and social obligations....Without question, civil marriage enhances the welfare of the community. It is a social institution of the highest importance.... Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family...Because it fulfils yearnings for security, safe haven, and [a] connection that expresses our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life's momentous acts of self-definition.”
I hope that one day all loving couples, not just those in Connecticut, Massachusetts and a hand full of other states, will have the option to be married if they so choose.
