On November 12, 2008 Judge Jonathan E. Silbert entered a court order allowing for same-sex marriage in Connecticut. Within minutes, Connecticut towns began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Barbara and Robin Levine-Ritterman were the first couple to obtain a marriage license. Later the ACLU-CT had the opportunity to speak with them about the case and what it means to their family.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, which was co-counsel in the case along with Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, was at the New Haven Superior Court, with plantiffs and other advocates, as Judge Silbert entered the order.
