Connecticut’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that homosexual couples have the right to marry, making the state the third behind Massachusetts and California to legalize gay unions through the courts. The ruling comes just weeks before Californians go to the polls on a historic gay-“marriage” ballot question.
California Governor Arnold “I’ll be back” Schwarzenegger signed three bills last week that many conservatives say will further squash moral values and religious freedom in that state. “Under these new laws, foster parents, nurses, doctors, health insurance plans, city and county commissions, and court-appointed children’s advocates must abandon their moral, social or financial values at the altar of the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda,” stated Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families, on Friday.
You could say that California is “going to the gays.” First the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing homosexuals to marry each other, making California the second state to approve such an action. Now the same court has now ruled that doctors may not refuse treatment of homosexual patients based on their religious beliefs.

What does this entail for Christian based stations?
