We must revise our views and accept they way people want to live. This is especially true for cases that does not entail an adverse effect against any thing but our sensibilities. We must not deny people the right to find their happiness if it does not directly affect our happiness in any meaningful way.\u00a0 Part of me hated making Sean Penn<\/a> win the Best Actor<\/a> award at the 81’st Academy Awards<\/a> for political reasons (Mickey Rourke<\/a> was really that good!), and I feared that it may be the reason the Slumdog Would lose the Best Picture<\/a> awards, TGFT. But prop * was California’s black eye and till they find a way to redeem themselves they would always feel shamed with what they weren’t able to prevent!<\/p>\n

My Wedding Ring
\nBy Ian Ayres<\/a>
\nWith great joy, I decided to put my wedding ring<\/a> back on my finger this past weekend.
\nI had stopped wearing my ring because I was slightly embarrassed to live in a state where people like my sister couldn\u2019t marry the people they love.<\/strong>
\nBut I have no reason now to be embarrassed on this score, because on Friday the Connecticut Supreme Court<\/a> struck down the statutory exclusion. You can read Justice<\/a> Palmer\u2019s opinion here. (Disclosure: An amicus brief<\/a> was filed in the case on behalf of me and other Connecticut<\/a> law<\/a> professors, and my spouse, Jennifer Gerarda Brown, was the co-author of another amicus brief.)
