Family Institute of Connecticut barred from intervening in Supreme Court case

The State Supreme Court has issued a ruling denying a request by the Family Institute of Connecticut to intervene in a civil suit brought with the intention of legalizing same-sex marriage. The FIC sought to present to the Court the harm that could arise to children in such unions.

The Courant reported, "The Supreme Court upheld a trial court ruling that barred the institute from intervening in the case, but did permit the group to file a friend-of-the-court brief stating its views that the children of same-sex couples 'are disadvantaged at every level of growth and maturation.'"

The FIC's Peter Wolfgang commented, "New York's highest court ruled last month that it is rational to consider the harm that same-sex "marriage" will do to children. Connecticut's Supreme Court refused today to even consider the argument..."

Please continue to pray for traditional marriage in Connecticut.
