No doubt about it --- the LGBT equality movement turned a corner this spring and there’s no turning back! First the Iowa Supreme Court issued an emphatic, unanimous decision in favor of marriage equality in Lambda Legal's Varnum v. Brien case.   Then courageous legislators in Vermont voted to extend full marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples.   Then the District of Columbia City Council took the first step towards marriage recognition by voting – unanimously – to respect same-sex couples’ marriages from elsewhere. Finally, Connecticut’s Republican governor signed the marriage equality bill sent to her desk by that state’s lawmakers, carrying out the state high court’s instruction of last fall. The number of states treating lesbian and gay couples equally has doubled – from two to four – within a month.
