Gay Couples Marry in Connecticut; Nationwide Rallies Planned Against Prop 8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Connecticut, same-sex couples have exchanged vows for the first time
since the State Supreme Court OKed gay marriage last month. Connecticut
and Massachusetts are now the only states allowing gay marriage after
California voters voted to ban it earlier this month. Gay rights
activists plan on holding nationwide demonstrations this weekend in
nearly 200 US cities and towns against the California measure.
