Connecticut catches up on LGBTQ+ parentage equality — Overdue and just in time

While other New England states have updated their parentage code in recent years to eliminate unequal treatment of families, Connecticut has fallen behind.

Excerpt - “Last Wednesday, on May 26, 2021, Gov. Ned Lamont signed into law a new state parentage act to fix Connecticut’s unconstitutional and out-of-date parentage code, and to legally recognize parent-child relationships outside of traditional nuclear families. That includes unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ parents, and those turning to assisted reproductive technology to conceive.”
